Food safety is in the news and on the minds of many people. Numerous foodborne illnesses have occurred in Nebraska during the last year. Most of the reported foodborne illness outbreaks have occurred from food eaten away from the home. The ServSafe® Food Safety Program is developed by the National Restaurant Association to address the growing food safety concerns of consumers for the food service staff that serve them.
Buffalo County has an open 4-H Assistant position focusing on traditional 4-H programs in the areas of family consumer science and/or SET; as well as school enrichment and after-school programming. Review of applications will begin September 24th.
