Food Bank Certification

We are excited to roll out our new online Food Bank Certification Course! Take the course at your own pace, whenever it is convenient for you. Our goal is to make sure you have the knowledge and skills you need about the range of topics that contribute to a strong food bank.

The Food Bank Certification Course is a series of six videos supported by a workbook. The videos are interactive in how they interweave information with quizzes and opportunities for reflection. Grab a pen or pencil and be ready to write down your answers. While each video is around 30 minutes, be prepared to pause a video to give yourself more time to engage with the information.

You can access the videos by visiting the Food Bank Certification course on YouTube. You can watch individual videos by clicking on the links below. While you can watch them in any order, there are occasional references to information presented in prior videos.

Welcome (2:38)
Nonprofit essentials (32 minutes)
Food Banking (22 minutes)
Volunteers (24 minutes)
Food Safety (29 minutes)
Forms (32 minutes)

Once you have completed the videos, take time to review your workbook before taking the exam.
