Any catering for a University event that takes place in university owned buildings on the Loop and Lincoln Park campuses must be serviced by DePaul's recognized catering provider.  \nOn occasion, University departments and/or student organizations receive donations of food and beverages for an event. Such donations must be pre-approved for health and safety reasons.  \nMonetary donations for the purpose of purchasing food and beverages are not considered catering donations, and must conform to the university's Catering Services Exclusivity policy.  \nDonations of food items for resale/fundraising purposes are allowed only if it is not necessary to heat or cool the item for safe consumption.  \nDePaul's pouring rights agreement with PepsiAmericas, Inc., states that only Pepsi products (carbonated and non-carbonated beverages, juices, bottled waters, and various Pepsi products) can be sold or served at DePaul University.  \nPlease also note that if a group submits a request that includes donations of alcohol, the group must demonstrate that they have adequate control measures in place to ensure (1) that persons under 21 years of age are not served alcohol and (2) that persons who are obviously intoxicated are not served alcohol (e.g., hiring a professional bartender to serve alcohol, security, presence of university representative, method of age identification and monitoring of the event, etc.) . Groups will, in the discretion of Student Centers and in consultation with Risk Management and the Office of General Counsel, be required to hire professional bartenders to serve donated alcohol.  \nDonations of alcohol are not allowed for events, including classes, at which students under 21 will, or could be, present.  \nStudent organizations serving donated alcohol must also request written authorization from the Dean of Students. Authorization will not be given to any student organization that is hosting an event at which students under 21 will, or could be, present. Students should consult the \"Alcohol\"policy in the Code of Student Responsibility for more information.  \n\n| Procedures |\n| --- |\n| A University department or student organization that is receiving a food/beverage donation for an event must register and have that donation approved by the Director of Housing and Student Centers. (S)he must review, approve and acknowledge the donation.\u003Cbr>The sponsoring University department or student organization that is receiving the food/beverage donation must complete the \"Catering Donations Request Form\" located at the link below or on the Student Center website, and send it to the Director of Housing and Student Centers at least one week in advance of the event. In addition, the donating restaurant is required to submit an invoice listing the items donated and complete a brief statement of donation (Catering Donations Letter) no later than one week in advance, also found in the link below and on the Student Centers website, including information on the handling of prepared foods, and send that at least one week in advance to the Housing and Student Centers' administration. A return response will then be given to the sponsoring/student organization department.\u003Cbr>While we realize most donations will be done \"in-kind,\" if a restaurateur or donor would like an acknowledgement lett","cbCairFTAQaPA5HE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairFTAQaPA5HE","pdf",172582,"English","# Policy Summary\n# Scope\n# Policy\n# Procedures\n## Divisional Collaborations\n# Contact Information\n# Appendices\n## Catering Donations Letter\n## Catering Donations Request Form\n# History/Revisions","[{\"question\":\"What types of donations does this policy cover?\",\"answer\":\"The policy covers donations of food and beverages for university events and programs by student organizations and university departments.\"},{\"question\":\"Do donated catering arrangements have to follow DePaul’s exclusive catering relationship?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
