JOIN THE TEAL PUMPKIN PROJECT FOR AN ALLERGY-FREE HALLOWEEN
Halloween is here! It is time to start getting dressed up, learn new traditions like The Teal Pumpkin Project, going to parties and best of all begging for treats! I love giving out treats too! Something I had never thought of before was how many kids have food allergies and how trick or treat can be an entirely different ordeal for them. Do you know how many kids have a food allergy? Over 6 million! That is a lot of little ones to be concerned about!
Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) is encouraging families to participate in a new Halloween tradition: The Teal Pumpkin Project. This national campaign encourages parents to offer non-food treats for children with food allergies. Participants will mark their intent by placing a teal-colored pumpkin in their yard, informing trick-or-treaters they have non-food Halloween handouts.
