October is here, and we can’t wait to celebrate. When the leaves start to turn orange, it’s time for the pumpkins to turn teal! FARE’s Teal Pumpkin Project makes trick-or-treating safer for kids with food allergies. With three easy steps, you can help make Halloween fun and inclusive for everyone this year.
- Place a teal pumpkin on your doorstep or post a teal pumpkin poster on your door.
- Offer non-food treats in their own bowl, separate from any candy.
- Add your address to FARE’s Teal Pumpkin Project map to let local food allergy families know that children can find safe, non-food treats at your house.
New This Year
This year we are proud to announce that CVS Pharmacy is our Exclusive Retail Partner of the FARE Teal Pumpkin Project 2022. CVS Pharmacy will simplify Halloween shopping for families with food-allergy concerns by offering nearly 50 convenient and affordable food-allergy safe items available in 4,500 stores and on CVS.com. Starting on October 1, families looking to join in the Teal Pumpkin Project can find participating CVS store locations on FARE’s interactive neighborhood map.
Also new this year is our event listing feature. Having a TPP event in your community – add it to the map so that everyone can join!
