Thanksgiving Meals For HCPSS Students To Be Picked Up Nov. 24

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — The Howard County Public School System will be closed Nov. 25-27, so to ensure that children have access to nutrition during the holiday period, families can pick up meals in advance to cover the holiday break.

There will be no meal service Nov. 25-27. So meals for Nov. 24-29 will be available for pickup on Nov. 24. Pre-ordering will not be available for meals picked up Nov. 23 or Nov. 30. Walk-up (non-pre-ordered) meals may be picked up on those and other days schools are in session.

Pre-ordering services will resume for meals to be picked up beginning Dec. 3. Pre-orders for that day must be submitted by Dec. 1, 12:45 p.m. Meals are provided at no cost to any HCPSS student or any child under age 18.
