!!PAC Hot Lunch Info!!!

Dear Parents and Caregivers, 

Welcome to GHE or Welcome back! We hope everyone enjoyed their summer break and got some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Hot lunch will resume on October 3rd, 2024. Ordering is now open. Please place your orders before September 25th, 2024. Please continue to use the same account login as you previously used if returning to GHE. If you are new to ordering hot lunch, you will need to continue reading below to create an account and place your orders. 

To help streamline the system for volunteers and provide great service we will only be accepting credit card payment through the online system. Orders will be automatically cancelled when payment has not been made within an hour of ordering. Please ensure you have completed payment and received an email receipt within the hour otherwise you will need to repeat the order.  

The online order system MunchaLunch is live now to place all orders for the fall term (Oct. to Dec.). Ordering cut off is 7 days before each lunch date. We suggest that you place all the orders for the term at one time to avoid disappointment.
