Can I still send a check to school?
-Absolutely. Meal deposits may be sent to school with your student in an envelope. Please label the envelope to Food Services and include the student's first and last name, teacher's name, and building. Envelopes may be dropped off in the school office. At the Middle & High Schools, checks can be accepted at the cash register.
If you prefer, your deposit can be mailed to:
Holland Christian Food Services
950 Ottawa Ave.
Holland, MI 49423
Checks payable to Holland Christian Schools are accepted. Please include your student's first and last name on the check. A $10 fee will be assessed for all returned checks.
If I send a check, when will it be available?
-Generally checks received before 9:30 a.m. are credited to the account on the day they are received. Checks received in line at the middle and high schools are credited immediately.
Can I send one check for all my students?
-Yes. We have the ability to make family deposits. However,all student accounts are individual. Please indicate how much you want deposited to each student account.
How will I know when the account is getting low on funds?
-You can monitor accounts online. Follow the link to LunchDeposit.com and after creating an account and receiving your password, you can log on and view account balances and history. Click the "View History" link next to the student's name. To view another history click the "Student List" link in the account menu. There is no charge to view your student's account history or balance.
May Students Charge Lunches to Other Students' Accounts?
-No. Due to the federally regulated child nutrition program, balances are not allowed to be transferred to other students.
What if I do not have access to the internet?
-We are happy to assist you in maintaining your student's account. For elementary students, please contact the school and we will place you on a list to receive reminder slips to be sent home with your student. Once per week the reminder slips will be sent home if the account reaches a balance of $6 or less.
At the middle and high schools, cashiers will make every effort to alert students when account balances are getting low. Students may also check their balances as they make their purchases.
Can I call to get my student's balance?
-The HC Food Services are happy to assist you. Please contact the individual school cafeteria for more information on account balances. You may also call the Hot Lunch office at (616) 820-2939. As our priority is student service, we may not be able to take your call during lunch. Please leave a voicemail and your call will be returned as soon as possible.
What happens if a student account is $0 or less?
-We cannot provide credit. However, we will allow a 3 meal grace period if a student account is otherwise in good standing. Only a qualifying federal meal will be provided and the price will be deducted from the account. If we do not receive a deposit during the grace period, an alternate meal may be provided.
