Food Safety & Civil Rights Training
Food Bank of the Rockies requires all staff and volunteers who regularly interact with program applicants or determine eligibility to complete civil rights training on an annual basis. The link below, provided NeoGov, provides all the information needed to complete the Civil Rights Training requirement.
At Food Bank of the Rockies, we require that staff with our Hunger Relief Partners are properly trained in food safety. To help you adhere to our strict food safety standards, we created an interactive food safety training for partners to follow. Our stringent processes and procedures help ensure that families facing hunger receive only nutritious, safe food from Food Bank of the Rockies. Additionally, Food Bank of the Rockies requires partners to complete the important Civil Rights Training annually to ensure fair and equitable distribution of food to our communities.
Building Belonging Program
At Food Bank of the Rockies and Food Bank of Wyoming, we celebrate the diversity of our service area including cultural diversity, immigrant and refugee communities, and communities of color. We also recognize that societal inequities mean food pantry users from different cultures or races may experience additional barriers when accessing food services. In response, we’ve developed the Building Belonging Program online course for our partners as a guide to reduce these barriers and become more culturally responsive.
The Building Belonging Program assists Hunger Relief Partners in understanding and addressing the barriers to access that our neighbors may experience. Topics include: methods to learn about your community, cultural and religious food preferences, language barriers, ensuring simple access, culturally responsive outreach, and building trust and respect. These practices aim to support creating spaces of belonging and increasing equity in your distributions.
Available in English and Spanish on NeoGov. Approximately 60 min. to complete.

Ultimately, we provide food to people in need, and the impact of that—whether you look at regional statistics or into the eyes of a thankful family—is measurable
