Blog Post CommentThank you, KFA! And thanks to all our great food banks... I'm from Georgia, and this warms my heart! Here in Georgia, we have thousands of people in Florida seeking shelter from the storm. In a neighboring county with a Red Cross shelter, we have over 2000 in various shelters. And that's a rural county, not a metro area. A friend of mine who is volunteering at the Red Cross shelter says that some of these people have had to evacuate in such a hurry that all they had was the clothes on their ...

Blog Post CommentThank you, KFA! As a person who was directly affected by Michael, I can tell you that areas south of us (southwest Georgia and the Panhandle of Florida) are still hit hard. Many in Georgia still don't have power and won't for some time, and as for Florida ... my heart goes out to all of those who were not as blessed as my family was!

Blog Post CommentAmazon will not allow me to ship to the San Antonio Food Bank without a phone number. What is the phone number for shipping purposes?

Blog Post Comment❤️Hey, @Abigails Mommy , here's the number you can use for shipping purposes: San Antonio Food Bank PHONE 210-337-FOOD (3663) 1-800-246-9121 I would probably use the non-800 number, but I would think either would work.

Blog Post Comment❤️Helen, what allergies are you managing? I will state up front that the immediate tasks of avoiding our many allergens and filling my 4 kids' bellies 3+ x/day while educating them and running a household, plus manging a tight budget and maintaining my sanity, are always going to get priority over strict adherence to best practices for cancer avoidance. The perfect can be the enemy of the good, sometimes. Parenting kids with food allergies is a daily dip in the puddle of stress. I think we can...

Blog Post Comment❤️Hugs Helen~. I can certainly understand the cancer concern as my husband is a lung cancer survivor. We also balance 4 kids (1 of whom is autistic with many developmental delays), food allergies, etc. I don't worry overly much re things like junk food, lunch meat etc. My kids all eat fruit and veggies, whole wheat stuff, things like salmon, etc. For my peace of mind, I have to pick and choose my battles. Anyway, do check out our resources, forums, etc.

Blog Post Comment❤️Hugs Helen - our life experiences and personal medical history can also effect our priorities. We all do what we feel is right and just hope we've done due diligence and made the best choice. Please check out our forums (here is our GI disorders forum ) and recipes collection . If you see a recipe that looks promising, we can usually help to find substitutes and "healthier" versions of things. We are here to support you where ever you are along your journey.
