Key Takeaways

  • •The county health officer can choose a nonprofit agency for food donations.
  • •The chosen agency coordinates and helps move food to charitable groups.
  • •Food can come from restaurants, grocery stores, or food distributors.

Example

A local soup kitchen receives fresh meals that a nonprofit food distribution agency collected from a nearby restaurant after the health officer chose that agency.
