May 14: Stamp Out GF Hunger

On May 14th 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 14th 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, Peanut butter, Rice Cakes, Canned fruit and vegetables, Almond and Rice Milk, Lara Bars, Nuts, and Raisons.
