Safely handling food is an important step in ensuring we provide nutritious, safe, and healthy food to neighbors. Per Feeding America guidelines, each partner agency is required to have one person on staff with a Safe Food Handler for Food Banking certification. If the certified person on staff is no longer with the organization, the partner agency is required to have a new person certified within 60 days.

We do recommend as best practice that the certification holder reviews the workbook annually to remain up to date on Food Safety. To obtain your Safe Food Handler certification, see below:

Succession planning is a process that helps organizations document important procedures and information as well as identify people to fill key positions.

Succession planning is not just for anyone thinking about retiring! We encourage partners to attend who need support in better documentation of policies and procedures too!

During the workshop, participants will receive a workbook with planning guides and step by step processes. Participants can expect to engage in interactive activities to begin developing succession plans to take back to their organization. Participants will also have the opportunity to hear from fellow partner agencies about their transition experiences and a chance to win door prizes!
