Proud Member of Food Equality Initiatives 7% Fund

We believe that everyone should have access to safe foods and by working together we can make that a reality. With food allergy week around the corner we wanted to share more about our partner Food Equality Initiative and what they are doing and why we, along with the brands and companies listed below have partnered with them. ??

The Seven Percent Fund & Coalition was founded in June of 2020, after Emily Brown, founder of Food Equality Initiative, wrote an open letter to the food allergy community following George Floyd’s murder. This letter spurred the food allergy community into action to discuss the racial and economic disparities in healthcare and food allergy and to raise money to enact actual change. This month, May, is Food Allergy and Celiac Disease Awareness Month, and we thought it was important to share with you the statement the Coalition has made to advocate for the food allergy community.

Did you know that there are 60,000 food pantries in the United States, but only a handful stock safe foods for people with food allergies, celiac disease and other digestive disorders?  This is why we chose to help, and you can too!

Check out this short video and see how you can get involved!
