Introducing WhosBringing to Your Church
Churches feed people constantly — fellowship dinners, small group potlucks, meals for new parents, casseroles after a funeral. Most of it still runs on a clipboard in the lobby or a group text that scrolls away. WhosBringing gives each of those moments a single link anyone can tap, with no app and no account for the people signing up.
Key takeaways
- Guests just tap a link and pick a dish — no account, no download.
- Use potluck sheets for fellowship meals and Meal Circles for families in need.
- Meal Circles are private by default and hide the address until someone signs up.
Where it fits in church life
Start with the meals that already cause the most coordination headaches.
- Fellowship dinners and after-church potlucks
- Small group and Bible study nights
- Meal trains for new babies, surgeries, and loss
- VBS snacks, youth events, and holiday dinners
- Rides, childcare, and errands for families in a hard season
Start with one small group
Don't announce a new system from the pulpit. Ask one small group leader to use WhosBringing for their next potluck. When forty people see how easy it was to claim a dish, the idea spreads on its own.
Share the link wherever your people already talk — the group text, Slack, the church app, or the weekly email.
Care ministry with Meal Circles
A Meal Circle is a dated calendar of meals for one family. You pick the days, how many meals per day, drop-off details, and allergies. Volunteers claim a day, get a confirmation, and receive reminders the day before and the morning of.
Because these families are often going through something tender, Meal Circles are link-only, never listed or indexed, and show the home address and phone only to people who have signed up to bring a meal.
Giving the family a voice
The host can send the family their own private link. They see who's thinking of them, update their preferences and drop-off instructions, and choose how often they hear about new signups — without any admin controls to worry about.
Rolling it out across the church
One person can host as many sheets as they like on a paid plan. For churches with many leaders running their own sheets, the Organization plan puts every host under one umbrella with shared templates.
Common questions
Do church members need to create an account?
No. Only the person hosting the sheet has an account. Everyone else taps the link and signs up with a name and email.
Is it safe for a family's address?
Meal Circles are private by default, not indexed by search engines, and only show the address to people who claim a meal.
Is there a free option?
Yes. Any host can run one live sign-up sheet for free, and Meal Circles are available on free accounts.
