*Positions require a Food Handlers License

A food handler’s permit allows you to work directly with the food (preparation, cooking, or plating food) and allows freedom to serve in any capacity at The Table. In partnership with the Jackson Health Department, we offer FREE group training sessions each Fall and Spring for you to receive your permit. If you do not want to wait, you can take the course online HERE.

No permit? No problem. There are still many positions that do not involve direct contact with the food for those who do not have a permit.

Questions? Contact: Debora Renken, Meal Coordinator, OR Abby Peper, Campus Pastor.
