Teal Pumpkin Project!

Dear Readers,

Halloween is fast approaching! It is a fun and exciting time of year, especially for children. Sadly, some of those children will have food allergies.

The last few years there has been something called the Teal Pumpkin Project. The basic gist of it is, if you put a Teal Pumpkin on your door step, you have items that are safe treats or an alternative like pencils or stickers for children with food allergies. I ask all of you that are handing out candy to please put out a teal pumpkin and have some treats for those precious babies who have food allergies.

Smarties, Skittles, Starbursts, and Red Vines are free of the 8 major food allergens as far as I know. Also, since Dairy, Egg, Peanut, and Nut allergies are the most common of those, I would also recommend individual packs of Oreos. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Thank you Dear Readers. Moms and Dads like myself thank you for helping to keep our children safe!

Lots of Love,

Lola Grace Stevens
