About the application

Food Vendors donate a portion of their revenue to the Bel Air Recreation Committee's Youth Program as a fund raiser. These proceeds are distributed to the various youth programs that the volunteers represent and can result in several thousand dollars to the various BARC youth programs. Volunteers assist primarily with food service and sales and other tasks chosen by the Food Vendor. Volunteers supporting food vendors must be older than 15 due to the presence of hot stoves, grills and sharp knives, etc.
