Donations and Refunds

  • MEAL ACCOUNT DONATIONS/REFUNDS

    All meal account balances (positive and negative) automatically rollover each school year.

    If an account has a credit (positive) balance, patrons have the following options:

    • Request the funds be donated to pay off negative balances.
    • Request a refund. Please note, checks are sent in the mail within 4–6 weeks. Depending on the volume of requests, it may take more time to process.
    • If you do nothing, the funds will remain in the account for future purchases. Please note: Inactive accounts with a credit balance (two consecutive years) are reported to the Oregon Unclaimed Property Division.

    If an account has an owing (negative) balance, please choose from one of the following payment options:

    • Bring cash or check (payable to Portland Public Schools) to the PPS Nutrition Services at the District office.
    • Mail a check to the district office. PPS Nutrition Services, 501 N Dixon St, Portland, OR 97227.
    • Pay online with a secure payment system, SchoolCafe. Please note, there is a 5% fee per online transaction with a $15 minimum payment.
