How it works

From registry to Village Table in three steps.

Set up your Meal Support once. Your people show up exactly when you need them. No coordinating, no reminders, no chasing.

1.Build your support profile

Share your due date, dietary needs, delivery preferences, and how often you'd like meals.

We handle the scheduling so nothing overlaps.

2.Share your link

Add it to Babylist, or any universal registry. Text it to your group chat, or hand it to your partner or best friend to send.

However it travels, your village knows where to go.

3.Your village finds you

Friends and family claim slots on their own: a home-cooked meal, a delivery order, or a gift card.

No nudging needed.

The Village Table

What your village will see

Warm, clear, and simple because your guests want to show up; they just need to know how.

Tips on what to bring, when to arrive, and how to be the easiest visitor ever.

A table set by your village.

Every detail lives in one place, so no one has to ask you twice.

Your Village Table holds everything your people need to show up well: your dietary needs, your delivery window, the dates that matter. They claim a day, you open the door.

The weeks nobody prepares you for.

Recovery is a full-time job. Feeding a household on top of it should not be. My True Village exists so the season of healing gets the same care and planning as the nursery.

Setting up your table
Yes. Every feature, free forever, for you and for everyone supporting you. No credit card, no paid tier, and no fees for your village. My True Village plans to stay free through partnerships with brands and providers who serve postpartum families, so the support itself never costs you or your village a thing.
No account needed. You fill out a short form to set your preferences, then create a private Owner PIN before your Village Table goes live. That PIN is yours to keep. No login, no password reset emails, just your PIN whenever you need to get back in and make changes.
You can share your dietary needs, food allergies, flavor preferences, and anything your village should know before they cook or order. The goal is to make sure every meal that shows up is one you'll actually want to eat.
Yes. Your village can bring a home-cooked meal, place a delivery order, or send a gift card. You decide what you're open to, and they decide what works best for them.
You can update your Village Table at any time. Just visit your link and enter your Owner PIN to get back in, make your changes, and save. Anyone who visits after you update will see the current version.
Copy your Village Table link and add it as a custom item on your registry. On MyRegistry and Poppylist, the title and image fill in automatically. On Babylist, paste your link, then add the title "My Village Table," set the price to 0, and upload the image we provide on your share screen. It takes about thirty seconds, and your village will see it right alongside your other gifts.
Amazon no longer allows items from outside their store to be added to a registry, so the Village Table cannot live there directly. It works beautifully on universal registries like Babylist, Poppylist, and MyRegistry, and you can always share your link by text, email, or social media so your village can find it.
For your village
No. You visit the link, pick a date that works for you, and claim it. No login, no profile, no extra steps.
Absolutely. If the mom has indicated she's open to delivery or gift cards, you can support her that way. Not everyone in a village cooks, and that's exactly the point.
Her preferences are right there on her Village Table page. You'll see her dietary needs, anything to avoid, and any notes she's left for her village before you commit to a slot. If you still have questions, her partner or a close friend will be your best resource.
Life happens. When you confirm your slot, you'll receive an email with all your details and a cancellation link. If your plans change, just click that link and your slot will open back up. When you know what works, visit her Village Table again and sign up for a new date.
About My True Village
The Village Table was created by Mari Serrano, founder of My True Village. After experiencing the postpartum period herself and feeling the gap when family support faded and no real system was in place, she built the tool she wished had existed. The Village Table is for every new mom who doesn't know how to ask for help but needs it anyway.
Your information is only shared with the people you choose to send your link to. My True Village does not sell or share your data with third parties.

Notes from the village.

"This site has helped us in many many ways, we are so grateful. Thank you!!!"
Ester · California
"I don't know what I would have done without this support, it's been so great to see my family rally around me with meals and those that live far away have still been able to feel like they are supporting us which is super sweet. This has been incredibly helpful for my healing journey."
Sarah · California
"Postpartum is difficult enough as it is, having to think about meals that are filling and nutritious often felt impossible. My Mama friends really showed up for me through my Village Table and WOW, I am glad I didn't have to stress about meals for weeks!!"
Anna · Florida
"My wife's recovery was so much smoother because of her Village Table, we are so grateful to you for this."
Collin · Texas
"I created a Village Table for my best friend, and it made it so much easier to be able to send to all our other family friends, add to her baby registry, and get everyone involved. She was able to get support when she was in her most vulnerable phase, and we all felt it was really easy to use."

About the founder

Built from
lived experience.

I became a mom and suddenly understood something no one had warned me about. It wasn't just the exhaustion or the healing; it was the quiet awkwardness of needing help and not knowing how to ask for it.

My True Village was born from that feeling. I built it because I wished it existed: a place where the people who love you can show up without being prompted, without a link being sent with an apology attached. A place where both moms and their village can return to for postpartum resources and support.

I'm Mari. New mom, former VC and startup co-builder, and someone who believes the fourth trimester deserves better infrastructure. This is my contribution to that.
