On Monday, BCPS distributes two breakfast and two lunch meals. On Wednesday, BCPS distributes meals (breakfast and lunch) for three days. The nutritious meals include cold food items, fruit, vegetables, milk, and breakfast items.
Meals are distributed in two ways:
- Curbside pickup at the main entrance of every middle and high school, from 11 a.m.- 1 p.m.
- By bus from 270 locations across the county. Times vary according to location.
