Easier Food Donations from Schools to Charitable Organizations

New rules make it easier for schools to donate surplus food to charitable organizations, which can help combat hunger. The changes allow for donations to be received and stored on school grounds, provided that the individuals receiving the food are trained. This means more food will reach those in need instead of being wasted.
Key points
Schools can now more easily donate surplus food, including from school events, to charitable organizations or directly to individuals in need.
Individuals receiving food for charitable organizations must complete food safety training to ensure proper handling.
Donated food can be received, stored, and distributed directly on school campuses, simplifying the process.
