It is best to purchase disposable aluminum pans for the casseroles and salads This way, if there is any food left over it can be refrigerated to be eaten the next day.  I have been assured that the leftovers will be eaten.

If some casseroles arrive in glass or regular baking pans, serve them first so that the pans can be taken home.
