We’re excited to bring this to you, and we’ll send a dedicated email with access 

instructions to all eligible clients soon. Thank you for your patience and 

understanding as we work to ensure the best possible experience.

Sign-ups for the 2024 GFCO Proficiency Testing Round, focused on Wheat Gluten in Spice Blends, are open until November 30, 2024.

Celiac Disease is on the Rise!

At the recent International Celiac Disease Symposium in England, experts predict that the incidence of Celiac Disease worldwide will triple by 2050. 

Celiac Disease is a significant health concern and affects 

1% - 3% of the population. 

It is estimated that on average, 70% of cases may be undiagnosed. The incidence of non-celiac gluten sensitivity is still unknown but is also on the rise. The need for gluten-free foods is growing. 

The need is urgent! Will you answer the call? 

Food insecurity is a rising crisis, especially for families living gluten-free. Imagine facing hunger while also needing to protect your health. This is the heartbreaking reality for so many today. 

At GIG, we’ve partnered with GIG Cares to provide six months of gluten-free food boxes to families in desperate need. We are supporting 1,000 families this year, but tragically, 1,500 more are waiting. They’re hoping for a lifeline, and you can be the one to offer it. 

Your donation of shelf-stable gluten-free products means a family won’t have to choose between paying for housing or food. It means parents won’t go hungry so their children can eat. It means hope.

Hunger is painful, but it’s even more heartbreaking during the holidays. Will you partner with us to bring comfort and joy to these families? They are immensely grateful for every box.

Just listen to Shawanna’s story: 

• “We received our first box today. It was after coming up short at the local food pantry and trying to decide between this month’s mortgage and grocery shopping. It seems like such a small thing, but I can do something as simple as make myself a sandwich tomorrow now when I’ve been avoiding GF bread in favor of giving my kids their bread. I am so grateful to you, beyond belief!” 

Right now, we’re assembling Cutting Costs Boxes each month, but we can’t do it without you. We need donations of gluten-free, shelf-stable products to keep these families fed and safe. Here’s how you can help: 

• Minimum Quantity: 510 units per product   
• Shelf Life: At least 30 days from the date of donation 

Your generous donation will provide immediate relief for families who are struggling to make it through the holidays. As a thank-you, we will highlight your company on our social media platforms and the GIG Cares website, showcasing your commitment to the gluten-free community. Plus, 100% of your donation is tax-deductible. 

Please, reach out to Margaux at Margaux@gigcares.org to coordinate your donation. Every single contribution, no matter the size, is life-changing

Thank you for being a beacon of hope for those in need. Together, we can make a profound difference. 

With gratitude,   

Channon Quinn
