16 Oct What Is The Teal Pumpkin Project?
The Teal Pumpkin Project is a simple way to make trick-or-treating safer and more inclusive for the one in 13 children living with food allergies, and many others impacted by intolerances and other conditions. Placing a teal pumpkin on your doorstep signals that, in addition to candy, you offer non-food trinkets and treats that are safe for all trick or treaters. It was inspired by a local awareness activity run by the Food Allergy Community of East Tennessee (FACET).
