Birch Grove Community School has an incredible in-house hot lunch program!

Hot lunch is available on:

Hot lunch is $3.00 per lunch, including milk. Those that qualify for free or reduced will be notified. If you are having difficulties paying for hot lunch, please let us know as we can help.

On cold lunch days, microwaves are available to heat up foods but not for cooking food. Milk is available with cold lunches for $.50, or you can send your own from home. Water or milk are the beverage choices for hot or cold lunch, so please do not send soda or juice. If you are having difficulties sending a cold lunch, please let us know as we can help.

The 2022–2023 hot lunch program has been supported by:

Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Zoar Lutheran Church in Tofte, the Cook County Co-op, Empty Bowls, and very generous donators. Thank you all very much. We appreciate your support!
