For Reservations: Call the sites. Reservations are needed by 1:00 pm at least one day in advance. All congregate sites are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Cancellation Policy: When Montgomery County schools are closed, there is no lunch service to any site. When Montgomery County schools open late, only the eight (8) housing sites (where people do not need to go out of doors to get their meal) should receive meals. These are: Churchill, Franklin, Arcola, Elizabeth, Lakeview, Waverly, Holly Hall, Forest Oak, and Inwood. Box lunches are requested for all sites on these days, if possible, as the nutrition site managers might not report to work.
