Fire Disaster Relief
 A special thanks to all those who donated, expressed concern or offered housing or volunteer assistance in the wake of the North Bay fires.
With your generous help and the additional generosity of Whole Foods in Sebastopol, CA, we were able to assist a number of impacted families with gluten-free/allergy-friendly foods.
While we are no longer collecting donations for this effort, we will continue to disburse from the fund, as the recovery effort is long term. Contact us for food assistance if you lost your home in the fire, are sharing your home with fire victims or your food was smoke damaged.

Need drivers on Sunday from Gluten Free Expo to North Bay
 Gluten-free product donations coming our way: Vendors from the Gluten Free & Allergen Friendly Expo plan to donate excess product from this weekend's show to North Bay fire victims. In early December, we will email this list with distribution plans, so if you didn't receive this newsletter directly, subscribe to our list from any page of our website.
If you plan to be at the Expo on Sunday 11/19 3-4pm and live in the North Bay, email Jennifer Iscol if you can help transport products to Sonoma County. We have a pickup truck, but may need a bit more space. jiscol@celiaccommunity.org

Gluten Free Watchdog Citizen Petition on Gluten-Free Labeling
 Too many products are violating the FDA gluten-free labeling rule by including gluten ingredients in products labeled gluten-free. Despite consumer reporting of violations and organized advocacy, the FDA has not been enforcing the labeling rule in an effective and timely way. The FDA welcomes public feedback and reads and responds to citizen petitions. Add your voice to the Gluten Free Watchdog petition.
