Gluten-Free Food Drive

Open Door Care Network's wellness program serves patients with health concerns such as Celiac's disease. Very often these patients don't have a vehicle or access to credit cards and online purchasing. Open Door aims to assist these patients by providing certain food items.

Volunteers are needed to collect or purchase shelf-stable and gluten-free food items and deliver them to where they are needed. All items should be fresh (not expired) and unopened.

Items needed:

• Gluten-free pasta (e.g. Barilla Gluten Free)
• Gluten-free oats (containers that certify gluten-free vs. regular oat packages)
• Gluten-free snacks (e.g. pretzels, crackers, cookies, wafer snacks, rice cakes)
• Gluten-free snack bars (e.g. Lara Bars, Kind Bars)
• Gluten-free baking mixes (e.g. brownies, chocolate chip cookies)
• Rice noodles
• Tamari sauce (this is a gluten-free, soy sauce alternative)

Volunteers must complete the following steps:

1. Collect the items above or host a food donation drive for these items.
2. Express interest below to record this opportunity in your Volunteer New York! profile and to alert the volunteer coordinator.
3. Click here to complete a mandatory application with Open Door Care Network. Volunteers who do not complete this step may not be registered!
4. Open Door Care Network's volunteer coordinator will share the delivery address for your donations.

Open Door takes a holistic approach to health, recognizing that much of it occurs beyond the exam room. We offer a range of support services to promote optimal health for both our community and members.
