Guidelines

Food donations are federally protected by the 2023 Food Donation Improvement Act and the 1996 Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act. The 2023 law ensure that food vendors who already practice safe food handling can efficiently and effectively donate surplus food to those in need.

Made sure to keep unused food refrigerated or maintained at a safe temperature. Package donated items securely, using disposable packaging that does not need to be returned.

"If planning an event in Lexington, I encourage contacting the VisitLex team. These local experts can assist in getting you connected with resources and share suggestions for best options tailored to your group."
