Our elderly neighbor's wife passed away.
Our connection did not extend beyond neighbors, but is it still appropriate to bring something to their house? If yes, what would you recommend?

You can send breakfast or offer that the neighbors take care of supper one night.

Yes send something over it makes a huge difference. And it’s very appreciated and thoughtful.

I was told that you need to ask the aval before sending over. They might not want to take from outsiders.
Both of my in-laws just sat Shiva (in the same week, both for a parent), they did not want to take any food from outside. Not even from their daughter and DIL.
Even under typical circumstances, They might not appreciate getting from a neighbor who never had anything with them.

I would agree with everyone.
Do something to acknowledge the loss, but maybe not food or sending something to the house at this time. Can you send a card? Make a donation in the person's memory?
