Food Sanitation and Unusual Events; Letter to the campus.

The university and Coles County Health Department require that organizations or groups sponsoring food preparation and distribution to the public be required to obtain a temporary food sanitation license. The term publicincludes, but is not limited to, select groups of people not associated by employment with EIU.
