Foods Banks Offer Gluten-Free Foods to Families

As more and more people are diagnosed with celiac disease, there has become greater awareness of the difficulty for patients struggling financially with the ability to maintain a 100% gluten free diet. Lets be honest, gluten-free food does cost more and even though the price has come down over the last few years, there's still about a 200% difference in the cost of gluten-free vs gluten-containing specialty products. 

The issue of finding affordable gluten-free food has quickly become an issue at food banks around the country where low income families have started searching for gluten-free products.  Thankfully, there are generous gluten-free folks all over the USA who are helping these food banks bring in necessary gluten-free items to help families keep up with the gluten-free lifestyle.

One example stems from Pittzburgh, where members of the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank network are working together to help solve the gluten-free problem.  About two dozen of the 370 households they serve monthly require gluten-free foods.  The Celiac Center at the Allegheny Center for Digestive Health in Pittsburgh has been instrumental in providing gluten-free foods for these families by educating volunteers about the need for gluten-free items and rallying the community together to donate gluten-free specific foods.
