Resources

-

Safe Food handling.

The Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance offers food safety training and certification through the ServSafe program. Feeding America requires its member food banks to have at least one ServSafe certified person on staff and that all key food handling staff and volunteers be trained, with certification optional but recommended. Agency personnel are required to receive training, but certification is optional. If you are interested in training for your staff or agencies, please contact Michelle Shope at mshope@arhungeralliance.org.

A Member Must-Read: I Was Hungry offers not only an assessment of food insecurity but also a strategy for addressing it. Jeremy Everett, a noted advocate for the hungry and poor, calls communities to work intentionally across ideological divides to build trust with one another and impoverished communities and effectively end America’s hunger crisis. Everett, a guest speaker for the Alliance, was appointed by Congress to the National Commission on Hunger, founded and directs the Texas Hunger Initiative. In I Was Hungry, Everett details the organization’s history and tells stories of its work with communities from West Texas to Washington, DC, helping people of all political persuasions understand how they can work together to make a difference in their community.
