The Amherst Survival Center has a need for gluten free foods. There is quite a bit of activity, interest and need for gluten free foods with their clients. Jennifer, from the Center asked if our members could do a GF food drive. Do any of you have any ideas on how to do this and make it effective? Or other ideas? Of course we could individually drop off foods. Jennifer’s number is 413-3968, xt 204. Please let me know. Thanks, Bruce
