Hot Lunch Program Credits during School Closure

Hello to the St. Philip Community,

I hope that you are all keeping safe and healthy.

Just wanted to advise that credits have been applied to the hot lunch program accounts for lunches that have been missed up to the May 3 school closure date previously announced.  If the shut down is extended, we will continue to process credits to all accounts until such time that we know if/when school will resume.  At that time, a refund will be given for all missed lunches.

If there are any families that need a refund more quickly due to circumstances, this can be arranged no questions asked.  Please keep in mind that to do this, we require two council members to meet to co-sign a refund cheque and we prefer to minimize/avoid this type of meeting if at all possible.  Please email the hot lunch email if a refund is needed:  st_philip_lunches@bell.net

Please go to "Orders" and "Account Transactions" to see this credit. <https://stphilip.hotlunches.net/>


Thank you for your understanding and patience,
Dana Kean
Council Co-chair

Hot Lunch Session 3 Ordering is now live!

Hot Lunch Program 2019/20

Session Three

We will soon be starting the second session of our special lunch program which will run from April 7^th to June 18^th.  Danby’s Hot Lunches will be served WEEKLY on TUESDAYS (starting April 7^th).  Pizza Lunches will be served WEEKLY on THURSDAYS (starting April 9^th).

Danby’s Hot Lunches are made fresh the same day they are delivered. All the lunches are nut free.  Sandwiches/subs will come fully prepared with all toppings already on it. Burgers (chicken or beef) will come with mayonnaise or cheese on it (IF indicated in the food description), but the tomato and lettuce will be wrapped separately and the mustard, ketchup and relish come in individual packets so they can be added if desired.

In addition to the lunch meals and additions, Danby’s has added the option of ordering mini meals.  Mini meals do not come with sides.  However, mini meals can be ordered any week, alone or with other items. Please note that no modifications can be made to the mini meals.

For Danby’s orders: Danby’s lunches can be ordered for the weeks you wish to participate. You are not required to select a meal every week.

Our Thursday Pizza Lunches are delivered from Jo-Jo’s Pizza in Kanata.  Jo-Jo’s only use high quality ingredients for all menu items, the dough is fresh and the sauce is always made in house. Jo-Jo’s will offer cheese, pepperoni, vegetarian and gluten free (cheese only) slices.

For pizza orders: the quantity and type must remain the same for each week of the session. 

Important Notes:

• Orders and payment are due by Wednesday, March 4, 2020.  Late orders will NOT be accepted. 
• NO refunds will be provided.
• In case of bus cancellations on a Danby’s or Pizza day, the orders will be moved to the next school day.

Thank you for your support!
