Community Outreach Projects will support the development of new food safety education and outreach programs in local communities and expand upon existing food safety education and outreach programs. Projects will focus on building the capacity of local groups to identify specific needs within their communities and to implement customized food safety education and outreach programs to meet those specific needs. Community outreach project funds can be used to develop and/or expand Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) training in communities to ensure they are consistent with new FSMA rules and meet the needs of expanded audiences. Community Outreach Projects also support the growth and expansion of existing food safety education and outreach programs currently offered in local communities. In addition, these projects will enable existing programs to reach a broader target audience, provide technical assistance, and/or expand to new audiences. New audiences may include those from a variety of agricultural production and processing systems.
