M.E.Ch.A. Dia De Lxs Muertxs Food Vendor Form
Greetings! We are very excited to invite you to vend at M.E.Ch.A.’s annual Dia
De Lxs Muertxs! Every year M.E.Ch.A aims to celebrate and honor the lives of
passed love ones through song, dance, art, and in this case, food. As you may
know food is a very crucial part for any successful event and we would like to
invite your organization to not only work in solidarity with us but gather funds. If
you would like to know more about our event please visit our Facebook event
page at: https://www.facebook.com/events/945138325613562/
Things you should know:
• This year we are not charging our food vendors a fee! J
• Through attendance from past years, we are expecting to
see about 500600 guest throughout the night so please plan accordingly and bring
enough food to last the whole night!
• A table and two chairs will be provided for each vendor. However, please
bring any extra lights, or other accommodations that you will need, as
well as utensils, gloves, bags, napkins and other supplies.
• The kitchen will NOT be available that day, so come prepared and with
everything washed/cut/etc.
• Each organization will be responsible for completing the necessary
paperwork through MIC for the event.
You must fill out and submit the “Request for Authorization to
Offer/Sell Potentially
Hazardous Food” form and have it signed by MIC, then take the same
form to Health and Risk Management and have them sign it before you
can go back to MIC and be officially approved. The whole process takes
no more than 1 hour and is a good way to familiarize your members with
the paperwork and structure of the school!
• All organizations must bring their copy of the approved paperwork the day
of the event, and must CONFIRM THE APPROVAL OF THEIR
PAPERWORK with the event coordinator NO LATER THAN OCTOBER
15! If you do not have the paperwork submitted and approved by MIC
you will be unable to vend.
• We ask all orgs to be set up by 5pm. Location of tables is on a first come
first serve basis, so if you have a preference on where you'd like to set
up please arrive early.
We will e-mail a map of the event set up as soon as possible.
