Safety Tips

Thanks to Sunkist for these important Safety Tips for use when running a stand!

• Always wash your hands with hot soapy water before preparing food. 
• If your hair is long, tie it back or wear a cap. 
• Wear a clean apron to protect your clothing from spills. 
• Have an adult help you if you are using a sharp knife. 
• Use paper or plastic pitchers and cups instead of glass. 
• Cover your drinks and snacks between servings to keep bugs and dirt out. 
• Use a ladle or tongs to serve ice. 
• Provide a covered trash container to dispose of used cups and keep your area clutter-free. 
• Never operate your stand alone. Have your classmates, friends and older brothers and sisters help. Ask your parents, teacher or another adult to supervise your sale. 
• Set your stand up in your front yard or in an area where there are lots of people. 
• Never approach anyone in a car to make a sale.
