How can I contact you?
To contact us, please email mealsformums@whitecloudfoundation.org. If the matter is urgent, please call the general White Cloud Foundation line on 07 3065 9855.
Can I refer a mother a second time?
Unfortunately, our funding model means we are currently only able to accept one referral per mother per perinatal period.
How long will it take for the mum to get her text containing the code and link to the Youfoodz site?
After you submit the referral, we screen it looking for duplicate referrals, we check the mother is eligible and we ensure we have all the information we need. We get a lot of referrals and endeavour to process them as soon as we can, but this can take up to 3 weeks. Please wait 3 weeks from the date you made the referral before enquiring about processing, please do not submit a second referral within the 3 week waiting period.
Are Meals for Mums planning on expanding to other states?
Meals for Mums is always exploring opportunities to grow our impact, and with the right funding and community support, we hope to expand our services to reach more mothers across other states in the future.
Can the mum order more than the 14 meals when using her code?
Yes, however the cost of these will need to be covered by the mother and are not supported by the Meals for Mums Program.
Can the mum order again from the meal provider (Youfoodz)?
Yes, the mum can simply log in to Youfoodz using the link we sent her (note- she won’t be able to re-register, she simply clicks on ‘login’ on this page), and use her existing account details that she created when registering for ‘Meals for Mums’. Additionally, she can go to the main Youfoodz page and simply sign up to the subscription-based service that Youfoodz offers to the general public.
What if the mum has a problem with her code?
If the mum didn’t receive a code after 3 weeks/ has lost the code / the code has expired, please contact Meals for Mums on the following email address: mealsformums@whitecloudfoundation.org
If her code isn’t working at checkout, please contact the Youfoodz Customer Care team via phone at 13 MEAL (13 6325) between 7am and 9pm Monday – Sunday (AEST).
What if the mum has received her code and tried to order but the Youfoodz site says at checkout she is out of the delivery area?
We ask all referrers to use the Youfoodz Postcode checker on the referral form to ensure the mum is within the Youfoodz delivery range. If you (the referrer) checked and the mum’s postcode was within delivery range but this problem has occurred at checkout, please ask the mum to contact the Youfoodz Customer Care team via phone at 13 MEAL (13 6325) between 7am and 9pm Monday – Sunday (AEST).
How can the mum unsubscribe from marketing from the meal provider?
White Cloud Foundation is very mindful of the vulnerability of the population being referred to ‘Meals for Mums’, and we have worked closely with Youfoodz to ensure the mum is able to control any future marketing from Youfoodz. Mums can press the unsubscribe button at the bottom of email communications to opt out. Additionally, they can opt out of further marketing while completing the Registration form, or they can call the Youfoodz contact line 13 MEAL and request to be manually opted out.
