Merchant Services

The Van Buren County SAFE Coalition offers a variety of services for merchants who serve and sell alcohol in Van Buren County. It is our goal to help reduce youth access to alcohol by assisting businesses in ensuring they have the proper licenses and are following Iowa regulations. This is best accomplished by Merchant Alcohol Trainings offered by the SAFE Coalition each month. Merchant trainings are scheduled for May, June and July so if you haven’t been trained we encourage you to attend one of the upcoming training opportunities.
May Trainings:
May 21st 6pm- Roberts Memorial Building
May 22nd 9am- Roberts Memorial Building
June 19th 9am and 6pm- Roberts Memorial Building
July 23rd 9am and 6pm- Roberts Memorial Building
