Inclusive Food Choices

Guide to Inclusive Food Choices 

When planning an event that will offer food, it is important to make sure all attendees will have options they can eat. Additionally, it is important to provide utensils (straws, silverware, plates, napkins) and food ingredient tags to make sure that everyone can enjoy the food being served safely!
