BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Because of food shortages and delays, Baltimore County Public Schools has changed its meal service program. Effective Monday, distribution days and meal contents will be scaled back slightly. In addition, the school system announced it added eight new sites for people to pick up food.

Rather than Monday to Friday, the school system will be giving out meals Monday to Thursday. On Thursdays, recipients will pick up meals for both Thursday and Friday.

Instead of breakfast, lunch and dinner, meals will now include breakfast, lunch and a snack.

There are 58 free meal sites in Baltimore County, according to Baltimore County Public Schools, which directed people to mdsummermeals.org to find the nearest one. Officials announced eight new meal distribution sites were added starting this week:

• Drumcastle Apartments
• Dumbarton Middle School
• Dunfield Apartments
• Garrison Forest Apartments
• Pine Grove Elementary School
• Seneca Elementary School
• Wellwood International School
• Westowne Elementary School
