Lily's Youth Fighting Hunger Gluten Free & Allergy Friendly Food Drive

I had my bat mitzvah earlier this year, and for my project, I wanted to do something to help people who can’t eat gluten because I was diagnosed with celiac disease when I was 2.  I decided to help S.A.F.E. because it is the only gluten free food pantry in Maryland. I’m fortunate enough to have gluten free food whenever I need, but for people who rely on food pantries and are gluten free, they have limited options. To help, I organized a neighborhood food drive where I left bags at houses and returned the following week to collect donations. The project was super easy and fun at the same time.  I was surprised to see how many people donated food, and in total I collected 146 lbs of gluten free food.

Please see our Food Drive page or email us you are interested in more information.  We look forward to working with you!
