Volunteer- Join us!

We have new opportunities in volunteer leadership positions. The county groups are part of the Celiac Community Foundation of Northern California and receive our administrative support.  The roles can be customized to fit the leaders' background, preferences and availability. You don't need to be an expert or have loads of time - just a willingness to serve our community and be a local contact. If you would like more information about one of these volunteer positions, please contact Jennifer Iscol at jiscol@celiaccommunity.org. 

 

We met this little girl, Jennifer Lynn Kranz, and her family (pictured at left with her siblings) at the Gluten & Allergen Free Expo in San Mateo in January. She has celiac disease and was diagnosed with a "fast and furious" brain tumor on her 6th birthday. The family is trying to raise funds to help get her into a clinical trial and spend more time with her as a family. Please help if you can or write a note of encouragement on their website.  http://www.loveforjlk.org/
