Selling and serving food remains a popular fundraising activity for many community groups. If you belong to a service club, church group, youth group, special interest club, or any non-profit organization, chances are good that you sell food. Any time your group sells food, it is essential to ensure that food safety practices are consistent and meet local and state regulations, create a food safety culture, and, more importantly, reduce the risk of foodborne illness.

To assist you and your organization in learning about these food safety practices, the University of Illinois Extension offers Serve It Safely, a non-restaurant food handlers course. The class is for volunteer group members and will focus on safe food handling practices, preparing, storing, and serving food for public consumption.
 

Serve It Safely will be held on Saturday, April 12, from 9:30 a.m. to Noon at the University of Illinois Extension-Jo Daviess County, 204 N. Vine Street, Elizabeth, IL.

Please Note:  This course is limited to the first 15 paid participants.
