Feeding America and USDA require all partner agencies to be trained in Food Safety and Civil Rights. A member of your agency staff must either be a certified food manager (onsite partners) or have received food-handling training (pantries) from an accredited school or the local health department while adhering to all local and state food safety guidelines. In addition, all agency staff and volunteers who interact with program participants and handle personal information must receive Civil Rights training, which is offered online through the Texas Department of Agriculture. All temporary/short-term volunteers must review the limited civil rights training document located in the Agencies Resource Center on the website. Partner agencies are responsible for documenting their training records, which will be requested by the Food Bank during annual inspections. Failure to comply with this training requirement may result in a suspension of privileges with the Food Bank.
