As we get closer and closer to the day so many ghosts and ghouls are waiting for, we begin to see decrations going up. One new decoration you may see this year on many doorsteps is a teal pumpkin.
The Teal Pumpkin Project™ is an initiative by the Food Allergy that began in 2014. The project is a national campaign designed to raise awareness of food allergies and promote inclusion of all trick-or-treaters throughout the Halloween season.
According t their website, "Last year, households from 50 states and 7 countries participated in the Teal Pumpkin Project™. This year, you can be part of an even bigger movement by joining 100,000 households pledging to participate in the Teal Pumpkin Project™!" They encourage everyone to take the pledge by clicking this link. After that just paint a pumpkin teal and place it outside and provide non-food treats (glow sticks, bracelets, stickers, etc.) for trick-or-treaters with food allergies.
I signed it, how about you?
