Food Allergy Food Drive
by Hope O'Donnell-Hill on Friday, October 7, 2011 at 10:10am
It
has been brought to my attention over the past year the amount of
families and individuals facing daily food allergy challenges; and the
number is continually growing. A lot of these families are in need of
financial assistance due to the specialized state of these foods. For
this reason I have acquired a list of allergy-friendly foods and am
requesting your assistance to help the many people in our area faced
with these challenges. Just the other day was there a young mother with
two small children newly overwhelmed with her 20 month old's diagnosis
of multiple food allergies, and terrified of not having the means
necessary to feed her child. Until personally faced with the struggle;
many do not understand the fear food allergies can hold over the
individual and/or family. It is extremely overwhelming and absolutely
frightening to realize that you may not be able to safely feed your
child. I am requesting your help for these families and individuals
that preside in our area. We will be hosting a food drive for October
requesting these specialized ingredients for these very special people.
Please consider donating to our cause, just one allergy-friendly food
item can make a difference. We are excited that Peach Blossom Health
Food Store here in Murray, KY has agreed to be our Drop-Off for these
donations. Thanks so much...
