We always notify agencies when their Food Safety certificate expires every two years. When that time comes, partner agencies in need of a new certificate will be emailed a notification. Once you successfully complete the training, you will be issued a new food safety certificate. Place it along with your other required signage; you may discard the older version.
Link2Feed Training
The South Carolina Department of Agriculture requires the Lowcountry Food Bank and its partner agencies to use a new software, Link2Feed, in order to continue participating in the TEFAP/USDA program. Link2Feed is an online intake system that replaces all paper applications and logs that were previously used. Beginning in 2022, new partner agencies joining the Lowcountry Food Bank are required to use Link2Feed regardless of their TEFAP status.
Vivery
The Lowcountry Food Bank has a partnership with Vivery to help our partner agencies better promote themselves and the services they provide to their neighbors. Use the tools below to better equip your staff and volunteers in how to use the Vivery platform.
