Gifting Food

[Daddy-O]

I'm serving P.B.R and bacon with no stinking permit. The P.B.R will prolly be warm and the bacon will prolly be cold.

It looks like "non Profits" only pay $25.00

"Non-profit" may refer only to 501-3(c) organizations. Probably not worth the hassle to save $25.

Quite clearly anyone who is giving away food a BRC is not making a profit. A "non-profit" charges a fee, but declares it goes to charity (or sumtin')

I would argue that BRC food kitchens should pay even less of a fee then Regular or non-profit kitchens since no money is changing hands which means there is no earnings to pay for the permit.

It would also seem that WE are being overly taxed if 100 people file for permits the health dept realizes $5,000.00.

I think we should try and work something out rather than accepting the high fee. Perhaps if the fee was less more people would pay for the permit and learn proper food handleing procedures.

a good gift would be any prepachaged non-perishable item if the person is hungry...I always ask visitors if they are hungery or thirsty.
