Tips
Whoever hosts usually takes the main. Say so in the description so nobody else roasts a turkey.
A side dish spot with a note lets people bring the dish their family always made.
Ask guests to bring a container, or add a spot for to-go boxes.
Pitch In Now doesn’t send reminder emails yet, so plan to text the group a day or two before.
People claim items, not times. There are no time slots or shifts yet.
