The Issue
An estimated two million Americans live in poverty with food allergies or Celiac disease. Existing federal assistance programs such as SNAP (food stamps) and WIC do not provide adequate financial resources for these families to afford gluten-free foods. Many face reduced accessibility to safe foods caused by a lack of transportation and/or language barriers. To make matters worse, people who ask for their food restrictions to be considered at food banks are sometimes seen as demanding or unthankful.
Here at Nourish America, we start by hosting community food drives for allergy-friendly foods to assist local food pantries. Making "Free-From" options available at food banks is a key step in easing the burdens of families affected by food intolerances. We promote food allergy awareness through social media campaigns. Our goal is to educate youth about the hurdles faced by people with food allergies who live below the poverty line. We believe in making progress and working hard to better the lives of others. Support Nourish America today in our pursuit to end hunger for all.
