Make a Donation to help Eliminate Meal Charges

Households who may be experiencing financial need are encouraged to apply for Meal Benefits (Free or Reduced Meals) at any time during the school year. Some households who do not meet the national guidelines for meal benefits, still struggle to pay for school meals. Each day students arrive at the cafeteria register without money. Carroll County Public Schools is committed to providing a meal to any child who does not have one.  If you would like to help eliminate the unpaid meal debt these families incur, please consider making a donation:

 

At the School Level:

Those wishing to send funds to reduce unpaid meal debt at a particular school location can send cash or a check made out to the school with School Meal Debt Donation written on the memo line.

 

At the Central CCPS Level:

Those wishing to send funds to reduce unpaid meal debt across the county can send a check made out to Carroll County Public Schools with School Meal Debt Donation written on the memo line.

Checks should be mailed to:

 

Food Services Office

Carroll County Public Schools

125 North Court Street

Westminster, MD 21157

 

Individuals can request funds be applied to an individual school or “at large”. We use any amount provided for the students in the most need or highest debt amount until the donation is exhausted.  Each student account receiving a donation shows the amount donated. This is done completely anonymously.
