Every mom’s goal is to raise her kids to be decent human beings who are kind and caring to others. In our club, one way we demonstrate kindness is to be inclusive of our members with food allergies. This Halloween, if you see a teal pumpkin, it means non-food treats are available so all kids can bring home something special. (Teal is the color of food allergy awareness.)

There are great non-food treat sections in major stores around town, including at official Teal Pumpkin Project sponsor CVS Pharmacy. (Honestly, sometimes the non-food treats are more popular than the candy!) A small act of kindness can mean the world to someone else, and that’s something we want to pass on to our children.
