Preserve today, relish tomorrow.
Dear Program Coordinators, Advisors and County Directors,
Welcome to the MFP Coordinator website and the UC Master Food Preserver Program! This is an exciting time for the UC Master Food Preserver Program. Currently, we have 16 programs serving 29 counties with 370 volunteers dedicating over 13,2210 hours during the 2021-2022 program year. Volunteer engagement by our coordinators is essential to the success of the volunteers and our program.
I've had the pleasure of meeting many of you for the first time as I travel to county offices and participate in the MFP Coordinator meetings. We have come a long way over the last few years of pandemic shutdowns; building and strengthening the foundation of the UC Master Food Preserver Program while finding innovative ways to overcome challenges and meet the needs of our community. We can’t do it without your commitment and dedication to this work and we are excited for what’s to come.
This website will provide you the tools you need to coordinate your UC MFP Program, volunteers and support the mission to provide research-based home food preservation information to the public. You will find a list of Program Coordinators for you to network and connect, a calendar of events, reappointment guidance and links to necessary forms and waivers. In addition, you will find the Safety Manual, Conflict Resolution Guide, Administrative Handbook and training materials.
Thank you to everyone for your commitment to extending the best in research-based home food preservation techniques. I look forward to what our vision for the future holds.
Best,
Amira Resnick
Director, UC Master Food Preserver Program
