NCA has uncovered an extreme lack of GF food in many food pantries across the US with COVID-19. NCA has been receiving increased requests for GF food assistance. Giving Gluten-Free is our pilot initiative to help get GF food to people who need it across the US by connecting GF food companies with area food pantries.
We can't do this alone!
Our thanks to the Celiac Centers at BIDMC & MGH and Tricia Thompson from the Gluten Free Watchdog for their generous efforts. Abby Kelly from Wicked Gluten Free kindly touched base with over 40 of her vendors, and Curtis Zimmerman also helped us make some connections.
We need monetary donations to keep this program running. Please give today.
Here are a few of the connections we have facilitated so far:
Schar donated $50,000 worth of product which was distributed to food pantries in Ohio, Maryland, Missouri, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.
Rowdy Bars were shipped to California and Idaho.
Lebby Snacks were delivered to a food pantry in Missouri
Perfection Snacks were distributed throughout New England.
Orgain bars were distributed to California, Indiana and throughout New England (Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont)
Early's Edibles were distributed in Ohio
