DIRECTIONS FOR WEEKDAY MEAL PICKUP
Meals can be picked up at Oak Lawn-Hometown Middle School from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on weekdays throughout the upcoming school closures. You do not need to sign up in advance to pick up a meal at school. A staff member may write down the name of any student/family receiving a “Grab and Go” meal; however, no family will be charged for any meals received. To keep all of our families and staff members safe, we are asking that our meal pickups be contact-free. The details for how to pick up meals at OLHMS are listed below:

  • Drive into the main parking lot (North side of Building) (See Map)
  • Pull up to Door #1, located off of 99th St.
  • A staff member will walk the meals out to your car, and write down the name of any students receiving meals.
  • Please remain in your car and wait for someone to bring you the meals.
  • If you intend to walk to the school to pick up meals, please walk to the designated entrance (Door #1) and wait outside for a staff member to bring you meals.
  • “Grab and Go” Pickup Map

Please remember these plans may be amended as we continue to receive guidance from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). Thank you for your cooperation and continued support!
