Prasadam distribution happens at many different levels, from Food For Life programs to handing out sweet balls on Harinam. When doing prasadam distribution on Harinam, be sure to distribute foodstuffs that are easy to handle. Don't hand people messy or sticky sweets that they'll get on their clothing, or preparations with turmeric that will stain their clothes. It's better to stick to things like laddus or sesame sweets. If you're handing out burfi or Simply Wonderfuls, you'll want to keep them cool and preferably, offer them wrapped.
You should also tailor your prasadam distribution to the movement of the Harinam party. For example, on a naga-Sankirtana (snaking single-file down the street), you won't want to be burdened down with a lot of prasadam distribution gear. If you're chanting in a park, it's nice to have a small table with prasadam on it. Be sure to clean up thoroughly afterwards, so the devotees will always be welcome in that place.
