Take Care of Kids
Ask a friend or relative if you can take care of their kid(s) for a day or evening.
If you have been a parent, you know the value of being able to have a few hours of "adult time" without worrying about the children.
Don't wait to be asked to baby-sit when it is required. Offer to do it at a time when the parent can do something fun and relaxing.

You can be a tremendous help by providing a meal that can be enjoyed.
