May 12: Stamp out GF Hunger – Call to Action

On May 12th the national stamp out hunger campaign will take place. This is a great program that makes donating to your local food bank simple and easy!

We think that this is also a great opportunity to help get more gluten free food to your local food banks. It is essential that more gluten free food is being offered at all food banks.

Here is how you can help:
On May 12th put non-perishable GLUTEN FREE food in a bag in your mailbox and your local mail carrier will pick it up and take it to the local food banks.

Food Suggestions:
Brown rice, Quinoa, gluten free grains, Nut butter, Rice Cakes, Canned fruit and vegetables, Almond and Rice Milk, Lara Bars, Nuts, and Raisons, or other non-perishable gluten free items.

Gluten Free Rafting Trip

Nadine and White Water Warehouse have brought their resources together and have created a fun and unique gluten free rafting trip!

Having a significant food allergy like gluten intolerance can make people wary about eating out or even taking a vacation. Assurances that the food will be gluten free do not always hold up and then the consequences dramatically impact the quality of the vacationer’s experience. Nadine and the gluten free chef accompanying her on this unique outdoor adventure, will make sure the foods that you are served are not only gluten free but delicious as well.

This is a vacation where you can have true peace of mind-no worries about the food being served you, just focus on the fun. Nadine is confident that this trip will address almost any food allergy because the food will be fresh, organic, and free of allergy causing substances. So the added benefit is that if you have food allergies other than gluten, this Oregon rafting trip will also be the perfect vacation.

Do you have questions about what this trip will be like? Check out the gluten-free frequently asked questions page: http://www.whitewaterwarehouse.com/adventures/Rogue-River-Gluten-Free-Vacation.html
