Run a potluck signup

A potluck signup lists what you need, like Main dish, Side dish, Dessert, and Drinks, with how many of each. Families pick what they will bring, so nobody brings the third pasta salad.

Steps

1. Go to Signups and click Create a signup. Pick Potluck. You can also click Browse templates and pick Potluck & Food Drive.
2. Under What's happening?, name it and add a short note for families. Click Continue.
3. Under When and where?, set the Date, the Starts and Ends times, and Location, optional. Click Continue.
4. Under What do you need from families?, use Items to bring. Type each item and how many you need. Click Add an item for more.
5. Open Signup form and add a question, like Which dish? or Any allergens?
6. Check the preview under Looks good? and click Create and publish, or Save as draft.
7. Share the link or QR code from the signup page.

Good to know

• Answers to your questions show next to each name on the signup page and in the CSV.
• Families can switch to another item or cancel from their confirmation email.
• Everyone gets a reminder email the day before, so food shows up.
• Use Message the volunteers on the signup page to send drop off details to everyone.
