The Allegany County Public Schools Food and Nutrition Service department began serving lunch to students at all 21 school sites on March 16, 2020, following a mandatory school closure due to COVID-19. After the first week of closures, ACPS subsequently began to serve three meals a day to students, which included breakfast, lunch, and a snack. To date, the school system's food service department has been successful in providing meals to more than 107,000 students and has served over 310,000 meals. Additionally, the ACPS Food and Nutrition Services department will also be providing meals during the summer at twelve school sites which were determined based on meal counts, location, FARMs, and staffing. Summer meals will be served beginning Monday, June 15, 2020, from 11 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday at the following sites: Beall, Bel Air, Braddock, Cash Valley, Flintstone, John Humbird, Mount Savage, South Penn, Washington, Westside, Westmar, and Westernport. As always, ACPS encourages and highly recommends that parents/students wear masks/cloth face coverings during meal pickups to continue to help fight the spread of COVID-19.
