In the news today was so very good news for parents of children with severe food allergies — The Teal Pumpkin Project, is a campaign to encourage people to offer allergy free and non-food treats to kids on Halloween who suffer from severe allergies. The idea is to get people to paint one of their pumpkins teal, to indicate to parents of trick-or-treaters that the house offers safe treats for kids.
According to FARE's website: Launched as a national campaign by Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) in 2014, the Teal Pumpkin Project™ raises awareness of food allergies and promotes inclusion of all trick-or-treaters throughout the Halloween season.
Last year, households from 50 states and 7 countries participated in the Teal Pumpkin Project™. This year, you can be part of an even bigger movement by joining 100,000 households pledging to participate in the Teal Pumpkin Project™!
FARE’s Teal Pumpkin Project™ promotes safety, inclusion and respect of individuals managing food allergies. This nationwide movement offers an alternative for kids with food allergies, as well as other children for whom candy is not an option, and keeps Halloween a fun, positive experience for all!
You can visit their website to get ideas for what kind of treats to have on hand, or download posters to put outside your home, in your neighborhood or at your children's school.
