The Amity Elementary Food Sharing and Donation program has been very successful. Throughout the course of one school year, Amity rescued more than 5,500 items that might have otherwise ended up in the garbage had it not been for the food sharing table. The sharing table element requires little infrastructure or staff time, simply a designated table and informing students how it works. The donation element requires a designated space to refrigerate the items and a volunteer to transport. The District has created safety guidelines and best practices based on input from all health departments within Hamilton County. This document outlines a share table case study.
