Hands For Hunger Practices Food Safety

• Our two refrigerated trucks keep fresh and frozen food safe for consumption.
• Our recipient agencies are all equipped with coolers and freezers on site.
  
• Our drivers and agency recipients are trained in Food Handling and Safety.
  
• We ensure that high risk food is distributed within 24 hours.
  
• Agency kitchens are evaluated regularly for their food safety practices.
  

In addition, you are not liable for any risk associated with your donation.

The Bahamas Government has just implemented a “Good Samaritan Food Donation” law that protects donors from liability associated with their donations. Moreover, Hands For Hunger asks all recipients to sign an agreement accepting food “as is,” which further limits liability for donors.
