Civil Rights
Welcome to our self-paced learning component for your Annual Civil Rights Training. This method of learning allows you to move at your own pace within a certain time frame.
This also means that any time you wish to go back to review a section, you may do so before completing the 10-question test which follows. This self-paced manual contains detailed information about civil rights policies and serves as a yearly guideline for protecting the rights of all program participants. |
The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) mandates that Civil Rights training be conducted annually to inform and update state and local agency staff/volunteers of their obligations under the Civil Rights laws and regulations. Documentation must be on file by FEBRUARY 28, 2012 at OFH and at the agency level, including names of all trained staff and volunteers, in the event of an audit.

Food Safety Training
Feeding America requires all agencies in the Ozarks Food Harvest network to have at least one member on staff trained in food safety. If anyone in your agency has already received a food safety training certificate, either through the ServSafe program or through your local county health department, please fax or mail us a copy of their certificate as soon as possible.
If you do not have a staff member certified, please call 417-380-5007 or email to schedule your training at Ozarks Food Harvest. This training is offered to our agencies for free. Failure to have verification on file by May 25, 2012 will result in your agency being put on hold. Agencies that have been recently monitored might have been given a different date to comply. |
Due to limited seating per class, each agency can send no more than 2 people at this time. In June, we will open the registration limit for the summer classes so that you may send additional people to be trained if necessary.
