Yes, the organization, officers, directors, food preparers and food handlers may be held liable for negligence. Similar issues arise if a non-profit holds a car-wash and damages a car, or someone is injured at a "charity function" of any kind.

Some states put a statutory limit on liability, but an organization serving food, performing other services, or selling consumables or household products, or anything else than can hurt people, needs to have liability insurance and also indemnify the officers and directors against personal liability if they negligently fail to train or supervise employees or volunteers performing potentially hazardous tasks.
