Food Donation Employee Training

Equip your staff with the tools and knowledge to successfully manage your in-store food donations program in partnership with local hunger relief organizations. 

Seattle Public Utilities has developed easy-to-use materials for staff to:

  • Standardize food donation and reduce good, edible food going to trash and compost
  • Clarify what can and cannot be donated
  • Maintain and increase high-quality donations
  • Strengthen food bank and grocery store partnerships
  • Feed food-insecure neighbors 

Please use these free resources, including translated versions. Contact us to receive files in another format.
