I was proud to be a part of my niece’s”sending off” to college this past month. I enjoyed planning silly bags of goodies for late night studying, thinking of fun things to send her for a new dorm room, started a care box for her, packed with her favorite things, and a few necessities that every student should have (coffee cards, toilet paper..the really important things). It is great to be a part all the new things that really just takes our minds off of the fact that they are really moving forward, on their own. We also decided to send her off with a fridge to give her better options, instead of living off the dining hall food. Then I started thinking about an article I read in April on the FAAN website. (http://www.foodallergy.org/page/food-allergies-and-college-making-it-work)
How would I be doing this different if my niece had a food allergy? I would certainly want to be part of putting more than “fun stuff” in her fridge. Moreover, I would certainly need much more to take my mind off the worry of navigating thru undeclared food items on a food line.
Well, that set my brain off to think of a way for SunWise could support these students and their families. Of course, I think our sandwiches are a no-brainer for a student. For less than $2 per sandwich-including shipping-pop one out of the freezer, toss it in the backpack… and BOOM a great snack or quick lunch is ready to be eaten between classes. But we like doing a bit more than selling a box at SunWise…we gotta make it a little fun and purposeful.
So between July 12 , 2012 and September 30, 2012, we will donate $2 for every box ordered from our website to your favorite FAAN Walk location. After you order, send us an email at gretchen@sunwisefoods.com to specify which walk you want your order to support. Donations will be totalled on the last day of each month and sent to the respective FAAN Walk site within 48 hours.
Join us to get great tasting, safe peanut/tree nut free SunWise sandwiches in homes, lunch boxes and dorms this summer and fall, while giving an added boost to your local FAAN Walk.
