Dear Members,
We are starting a new year and we have 2 things we would like for members to do this month.
1. The civil rights video is REQUIRED! In fact, if you don't listen to the video and put in that you have completed it, you will not be allowed into the drawings on 2/1/24 until you have completed this. This is worth .5 volunteer hours.
This is a new year, so even if you watched this video in December of 2023, it is required in the 2024 year so please watch again.
2.We would like as many gleaners as we can to take the ServeSafe test. This is a free test and is graded by Linn Benton Food Share. This is worth an hour of volunteer time for members. This is NOT required but if you are working with food, we would love for you to have this. Anyone who does store pickups, is in charge for a day or a few hours is REQUIRED to have this or their food handlers card. This is worth 1 hour of volunteer time
1. Civil Right Video (approximately 22 minutes)

2. ServeSafe Exam
We would really like for many of our members to be serve safe certified. If you have your food handlers card, we would love
a copy of that for our records.
Follow the instructions below with putting in the Oregon Food Bank and the video key and watch the video.
