More candles, more wishes right? One of my wishes for my birthday this year is to raise funds to increase access to nourishing foods, education and resources for families in my community through FEI. Each dollar and cent has an tangible, direct impact. We've done some incredible things together over the last few decades - let's do it again!

Since 2014, Food Equality Initiative has been committed to ending hunger in the food allergy and celiac disease community. In 2022, we broadened our service to include all diet-treated illnesses and conditions, fully embracing the food is medicine movement.

At FEI, food is medicine has two major faces. We believe that food is medicine to treat medical conditions such as food allergies, celiac disease, Crohn’s Disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, diabetes, hypertension, and more. We also believe food is medicine to prevent illness and improve overall health through the regular consumption of nutritious food, otherwise known as nutrition security.

To recognize the potential of food is medicine, FEI serves in two main ways.

We improve access to nourishing food by advocating for traditionally under-represented populations in healthcare on a regional and national scale.
We educate the public about the challenges at the intersection of food insecurity and the requirement of food as medicine.

To do our work, FEI collaborates with and receives funding from healthcare providers, local and national nonprofit organizations, government agencies, universities, food manufacturers, and generous individual donors. FEI is a registered 501(c)(3).
