It would involve a joint effort of both the visiting teaching and home teachers. As you know there are a “few lost sheep” that we need to nurture back to the flock. I came up with a simple method of fellowshipping these individuals and families back in the church. I call it “FEED MY SHEEP”.

This is the the plan: Starting in January, each month “dry can” one item and distribute it to those most in need: inactives, single parents and those who genuinely need assistance each month in the ward. One a month, you can deliver beans (home teachers). The next month will be rice, with a recipe from the visiting teachers and maybe a bishops message to top it off. Each month the food and the message will arrive. In December, a “special” can will be given to each person on Christmas. It is up to the Spirit to decide the contents of that 12th month. Now as far as home teaching goes, the brethren will have to deliver these items each month, or they will accumulate a lot of food storage with someone else’s name on it! And that can motivate a home teacher sometimes!
