All proceeds from this event will benefit the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley. They will provide gluten-free food to the needy in their community. Also, funds will help research programs of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University.
Participants are encouraged to bring non-perishable gluten-free items to benefit the food bank. The event is followed by a Gluten-free fair with music. There will be several gluten-free vendors and several activities to enhance the event. There will be raffles and prizes as well.
