Event details
For any members that may be in need of using the Good Cheer Food Bank, it has been reported that Good Cheer has one pound bags of Arrowhead Mills Wild Rice Pancake and Waffle mix, which is gluten-free. They also have Rice Flour portioned out into quart size baggies. These items are located in the same aisle as the sugar, flour, and other grains. There were 16 people present at the April 20th meeting where Maureen Wild gave a presentation entitled - Food Allergies & Your Quality of Life. The discussion was excellent from all who attended. Please also be sure to thank Payless for donating some gluten-free items made by Alternative Grains, Inc out of Coupeville. Free samples of Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Hot Cereal was also available. The Clinton FoodMart has a listing at the checkout showing the aisles that contain their various gluten-free items. The Star Store in Langley seems to be interested in putting a list together as well. The Good Cheer Food Bank is also interested.
The next Whidbey Island GIG meeting is scheduled for Sunday, May 18th at 2pm - 3:30pm. It will be held at the Freeland Library. The topic is - Gluten-Free Grains and How to Use Them.
