Mission Joplin's gluten free shelves were almost empty today. I took 5 boxes of gf food in and a couple of really sweet volunteers helped me stock and straighten the shelves.

That is leaving some considerable gaps in the shelves here but as I said in the last entry, things seem to be gearing down. I do have some gift certificates to give as a Celiac Support Group in Denver donated $500.00 in gift certificates from Suzanne's a local health food store that carries quite a bit of gluten free food. that will be nice for folks as they can choose what they like. There is also some money left from what Bi-State Celiac Support Group Donated to Joplin Celiacs to Celiacs to buy gf food. (they have gone on hiatus for awhile and wanted to do something special with money on their budget. I will buy gf food as long as that holds out but of course with the cost of gf food that won't be to long.

There were several people that asked me to let people know by way of this blog if we were running out of food.

I must say however , the gluten free community has been so very generous and have sent food for close to three months now and we have given it to all those we have found in Joplin that have Celiac disease or are gluten intolerant. We all truly appreciate all that everyone that has donated in anyway has done for the gluten free community in Joplin.

Hope you all have a good weekend.
