Solicitation Code of Conduct

Rules for outdoor solicitation at Karns Foods by approved nonprofit organizations:

1. Designated Solicitation Area: The nonprofit organization should only engage in activities within the approved exterior location. This should allow for a clear path in and out of the door. Minimizing disruption to regular operations.
2. Advance Permission: On-site solicitation must be approved in advance – confirming the date and time period.
3. Respect Business Operations: Groups must be mindful of the business, vendor partners and neighboring businesses.
4. Respect Customer Boundaries: Communicate with community members with courtesy and respect for their personal space. Do not engage in aggressive or intrusive solicitation tactics.
5. Maintain Cleanliness: Ensure that the designated solicitation area remains clean and free of litter. Properly dispose of any materials or signage used during the solicitation activity.
6. No Disruptive Behavior: Avoid any behavior that disrupts the peace and harmony of the community. This includes loud noises, shouting, or any disruptive activities that may disturb customers or team members.
7. Accept Refusals Gracefully: Respectfully accept a refusal from potential donors without argument or pressure. Thank them for their time and consideration, regardless of their decision.
8. Supplies: Groups and individuals are responsible for their own signs and supplies in executing the event.
9. Liability: The group acknowledges and accepts full liability for any incidents or claims that may arise during the activities associated with the group and its members. This includes accidents, injuries, damages or losses.

Any violation of the above may result in the organization being asked to leave immediately, or losing future privileges. A violation includes, but is not limited to, a complaint of behavior from a community member/team member, not following proper approval and leaving space in disarray.
