How to Become an Agency Partner

We accept applications on a rolling basis from local nonprofit organizations that would enhance their own client services through partnership. 

Review the resources above, including the steps to Becoming an Agency Partner to start the process. Additional questions can be directed to Programs Manager Zac Hummel. 

Minimum Qualifications for Agency Partners:

  • Registered 501(c)3 organization or qualifying church

  • Operates to serve “the ill, needy, or infants (minor children)” as per the IRS.

  • Located in Larimer County.

  • Have adequate food storage space.

Food Safety Requirements

It is of the utmost importance the food being served to our clients is stored and distributed safely. As such, all agency partners must have at least one person with appropriate food safety training that aligns with the type of food being distributed or prepared. If that food safety-trained individual leaves the organization, agencies have 60 days to train a new person.

  • An agency distributing only shelf stable product is required to have basic food safety training.
    • We use an online platform called NEOGOV to distribute the trainings.
    • To request a profile to take the training, please contact our agency helpdesk at agencyinfo@foodbanklarimer.org
  • An agency distributing cold product is required to have advanced food safety training. There are two classroom options:
      • ServSafe Food Handler’s Class
        • This online course is $15. An assessment must be completed to receive a certificate.
      • Food Bank for Larimer County’s In-Person Class
        • FBLC offers Agency Partners an in-person class 6 times each year, always on Wednesday afternoons from 1:00 -3:30 pm.
        • The class is free and requires completion of an assessment to receive a certificate.
        • Upcoming FBLC class information will be included in Agency Newsletters.
  • Agencies that prepare food on site (such as a soup kitchen or meal site) are required to have advanced food safety training that is more comprehensive than the ServSafe Food Handler’s Class.
