    Event Description:
    Recruiting Canteen Teams for Hurricane Season 2023
    Do you have a heart for service? If the answer is yes, we need you! We are currently recruiting and training Salvation Army Canteen Teams. Hurricane Season is here and it looks like it will be a busy one. Canteen Teams are the boots on the ground serving meals and providing comfort to communities impacted by disasters. Course titles, schedule, and location information listed below.

    August 25th  — 8:30am-12:30pm CST— Introduction to Emergency Disaster Services
    This course offers an overview of The Salvation Army's mission, the services it provides during a disaster, and prepares participants for their first disaster assignment, describing everything from packing to travel to self-care. 
    August 25th — 12:30pm-4:30pm CST—Serv Safe Food Handler (6th edition)
    This course introduces participants to the basics of safe food handling. The course explains how food can become unsafe through time-temperature abuse, cross-contamination, and improper cleaning and sanitizing, and emphasizes the importance good personal hygiene plays in limiting the spread of dangerous pathogens.
    August 26th — 9:00am-5:00pm CST—Disaster Food Service and Canteen Operations
    During a disaster, the first gesture of comfort The Salvation Army offers is often a cold drink and a hot meal from one of its mobile feeding units. The Disaster Food Service and Canteen Operations course is designed as the starting point for any disaster worker who wishes to be a part of disaster food services operations. Participants who complete the course will learn about the different types of Salvation Army food service equipment, the essentials of building a food service team, canteen operations and maintenance, and the basics of menu planning.
