Foundation helps poor Celiacs

Great article about a group aiding people with Celiac Disease in the Palm Beach Post.
When a $12 baguette tempted Phyllis Kessler in a grocery store aisle, she did not scoff at the price, but instead savored the anticipation of a piece of garlic toast.
Yes, I too have licked my lips over that $12 baguette. But those gluten-free versions of food are expensive.

Four months later, Kessler and her Delray Beach-based celiac support group have raised more than $9,000 to help those too poor to buy substitutes.

She and the folks at the Celiac Disease Foundation of South Florida call it their Gluten Free Food Assistance Program. They believe it's the only one like it in the country.

Now, who's going to help me get more bars to carry Redbridge?
