I want to run a benefit dinner at my religious organization or club. Do I need a food permit from the Health Department? How do I apply?

Yes, you will need to apply for a license for a special event. There is a small charge for non-profit and religious organizations. To apply, you will need to fill out a temporary food applications which will ask for a description of the food to be served, contact information, etc. You will be asked to review some basic information on food safety and to confirm that you will comply with all food safety practices required by the Board of Health. Please call 508-949-3800, ext. 4002 for more information.
