2. Description of Service

Meals Multiplied is a meal-sharing platform that connects families and organizations. This service facilitates:

• Meal-sharing groups: small groups of families who cook and exchange home-cooked meals each week
• Community meal requests: organizations (churches, clubs, schools) post requests when a family in their community needs meals; members respond voluntarily
• Recipe tools, grocery list generation, and cooking assistance

3. User Responsibilities

As a user of Meals Multiplied, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and truthful information
• Respect other users and maintain a positive community environment
• Follow all food safety guidelines and best practices
• Not share inappropriate, harmful, or illegal content
• Respect intellectual property rights
• Maintain the confidentiality of your account credentials
• Provide accurate information when posting or responding to community meal requests
• Use the community meal request feature only for its intended purpose — supporting families in genuine need

4. Dietary Restrictions and Food Allergies

• Meals Multiplied does not manage, track, or enforce dietary restrictions or food allergies between families
• Families cook for each other without guaranteed knowledge of recipients' specific dietary needs or allergens
• Users with severe food allergies, anaphylactic conditions, or medically required dietary restrictions should carefully evaluate whether group meal sharing is appropriate for their household

• Meal requests should accurately represent genuine community need
• Organization leaders are responsible for the accuracy of their organization's 501(c)(3) status as reported in the app
• Meals Multiplied does not verify 501(c)(3) status; the contribution summary PDF is provided as a convenience for members' personal records only and does not constitute tax advice
• Consult a qualified tax professional to determine the deductibility of meal contributions

• Food quality, safety, or preparation by users
