Time to Renew Your Food Safety and Civil Rights Training!
Keep your clients safe! Best practices are a must, especially when
distributing food to clients that are most susceptible to food borne illnesses.
Food Bank of the Rockies takes this matter seriously and we offer free online
training for all of our partner agencies.
Each partner agency will need at least one key staff or volunteer who is
directly involved with your food program. Our class is available online and is
a self-paced training. Complete the course by August 25th to be in
compliance with USDA, Feeding America, and Food Bank of the Rockies.
Click
here for instructions on taking the course. After the course is completed a
short multi answer test will be given and you will need to score at least 80%
to pass.
USDA &
Nutrition Network Partners Need Civil Rights Training Too: If your food program receives food through the USDA programs, one key
staff or volunteer is are required to complete the Civil Rights Training. This
is also available online and is a self-paced training.
Please Track Your CSFP Inventory
The CSFP Inventory Tracking form is
sent out each month for you to report the number of boxes you received,
distributed and the leftover boxes you have at your facility. The Inventory
portion of the report specifically asks for the Recipe of the boxes. The
Recipe is printed on the white label on the side of each box. Please fill out
the Inventory Report completely; there is a sample of how to fill out the form
printed on the back of each form.
Our staff is here to help you and
answer your questions. If you are unsure or need extra help, please contact
us!

Welcome Jason and DiAnna to the Outreach team and Colleen to Agency Relations
 Colleen
studied Sociology and Environmental Policy at the College of William &
Mary. She became passionate about food systems and food access while
volunteering at an after-school program in a subsidized housing community close
to campus. In December 2015, she moved to Denver and worked in environmental
education for nonprofits advocating for progressive policies at the state
level. She loves reading, cooking, and being adventurous.
If you were a vegetable, what vegetable
would you be? Eggplant, because it’s low-key but delicious.
If you woke up tomorrow as an animal,
what animal would you choose to be and why? Otter, because they are my spirit animal. They’re playful, fun,
loyal, and absolutely adorable.
If you could only choose one vacation
destination where would you pick and why? Cape Cod, Massachusetts, because I camped there every summer
with my entire family and many of my best memories are from there.
 Jason
Smith has been with Food Bank of the Rockies for nearly two years where he most
recently worked as the Operations Assistant. Prior to coming to FBR he worked
as Agency Relations Manager for Mid-South Food Bank in Memphis, TN. While
receiving a degree in Sociology from University of Memphis, he ran a soup
kitchen and worked with several non-profits focused on social justice and
hunger relief. In his free time he enjoys hiking, cycling, and playing music.
If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be? Jalapeno
If you woke up tomorrow as an animal, what animal would you
choose to be and why? Elephant, they are my favorite
If you could choose an imaginary friend, who would you choose
and why? Miles
Davis because he was an amazing musician.
Share a description of your favorite material object that you

guitar
 Most
of us may know this face; we stole her from the Agency Relations department.
DiAnna has been with FBR for three years. During that time, she worked in the
Order Window and as an Agency Representative. We adore her vivacious
personality, determination, and charisma.
What
favorite color are you and how does being that color make you feel? Yellow, it makes me feel awake and like I have the energy
of a million men.
If
you could choose your age forever, what age would you choose and why? 30, even though I haven’t reached that age yet. I think
it’s the age of clarity. You have most of your life figured out by then.
If you were a city, which city would you choose to be and why? NYC. The scenery, history and people are so
diverse and beautiful.
