How to organize a church potluck — Checklist

Pick date, location, and serving time (include setup buffer).
Set categories: mains, sides, salads, desserts, drinks, serving supplies, cleanup.
Note dietary needs (allergies, gluten-free, vegetarian) in the host message.
Assign setup and teardown volunteers separately from food claims.
Share one link — not a PDF, photo of a sheet, and a reply-all thread.
Send a reminder two days before with what is still missing.
Day-of: post who is bringing what near the serving line.
