#GFreeWifeyFoodBank Holiday 2019 Food Drive
#GFreeWifeyFoodBank was created to celebrate Celiac Awareness Month, May of 2018. Jessica Danford is passionate about bringing attention to food insecurity here in Canada while starting the conversation on access to safe food. People with food allergies, intolerance and dietary restrictions use food banks too. How inspiring as we kick off the Holiday 2019 season to look back at all that has been accomplished. Together our amazing community has come together and donated nearly $4000 & 2040 pounds of gluten-free food to community partners.
