What is your families favorite meal? Can you double it or triple it next time? On your next grocery store visit, purchase enough items to do so. Freeze the extra proportions and now you have a meal to bring to another family.
Soups are a wonderful thing to bring. If the family does not eat it all they can easily be frozen for a later date. Not to mention, soups are usually a balanced meal all in one bowl. One time my friend brought me an ice cream pail half full of soup. It lasted us a few days and was nice to eat for lunch or dinner.
Breakfast Ideas
All of these can be prepared days a head of time and froze.

A bag of bagels and tasty cream cheese. What a treat!
Pancakes, waffles and french toast are my favorite things to freeze and have on hand.
Breakfast burritos (eggs, cheese and salsa)
Breakfast sandwiches (eggs, bacon on english muffins)
You can also find a variety of crockpot breakfast recipes online. Drop the crock off Friday night and they can have a warm breakfast waiting for them on Saturday morning!
