A new master food volunteer program is being organized by K-State Research and Extension's Wildcat District.

 

Health, Food Safety, and Nutrition Agent Holly Miner says individuals who have passion for food, preparation of food, health science, nutrition, or wellness are encouraged to attend.

 

The classes are taught by industry professionals, as well as county and state extension agents. Miner says the opportunity for up to 40 hours of training is available in exchange for an equal amount of approved service back to the community.

 

The training program runs from January 25th through February 17th and applications are currently open.  You can apply by calling Miner at 620-331-2690. All applications must be submitted by December 1st, and all potential volunteers are subject to an interview and background check.
