National VOAD produces a variety of documents that may be useful to people participating in disaster preparedness, response, relief and recovery.
DRAFT Multi Agency Feeding Plan Template
This template provides suggested guidance and procedures for a jurisdiction to consider in the development of a multi-agency feeding plan that supports feeding assistance in advance of, during and after a disaster throughout the impact area(s) of the State. It stresses coordination among the various organizations/agencies involved with feeding operations. These organizations/agencies include: Federal, State, tribal and local government entities, non-government organizations (NGOs), National and State Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster member organizations and other voluntary organizations involved with feeding operations* and the private sector.
This document was not developed by National VOAD but by a joint effort our National VOAD member organizations with a disaster feeding mission and government partners. We are very proud of this truly collaborative effort.
