Helping out a Gluten Free Food Pantry is a great activity in honor of Giving Tuesday. There are a handful across the country that could use our help!

Gluten Free and allergy-friendly foods can cost up to 450% more then their counterpart products. This means that for some individuals and families, a medical diagnosis requiring a gluten free diet can lead to a severe financial strain. Gluten free food is rarely available at food pantries, leaving few options for getting affordable, safe hunger relief. Low – income individuals are often forced to choose between health and hunger. 

Thankfully, a few gluten free, allergy-friendly food banks have opened across the country to address this need. Please consider helping one of the dedicated food pantries that serve those living with food scarcity and a dietary restrictions.

S.A.F.E. Food Pantry: Columbia, MD

The Rachel Way Food Pantry: Plymouth Meeting, PA

Food Equality Initiative: Kansas City, MO

Gluten Free Food Bank (run by the National Celiac Organization): Newton, MA

On today's Celiac Project Podcast:

Mike and Cam are excited to welcome Jax, Jon, and Leslie Bari to the podcast. Jax is an impressive young celiac advocate who has been featured on "ABC Nightly News with David Muir," and met with President Biden!

Jax and his parents are on a mission to advocate for change, and Jax authored a citizen's petition in his efforts to include GLUTEN as an allergen on all food labels, making all gluten containing grains labeled in the future. You will be so inspired by the work that Jax, Jon, and Leslie have done to create positive change moving forward!

be as good at pasta made with wheat.

I completely disagree! Growing up in an Italian - American home, we ate pasta a lot! Their is some excellent gluten free pasta on the market. So good that even my non-gluten free family members ask for them when they visit!

My favorite brands are: Garofalo, La Veneziane, Jovial, Taste Republic and Charlie's Table. How about you?
