Combating Food Insecurity for the Food Allergic

Securing Safe Food (SSF) is a national nonprofit dedicated to fighting food insecurity among individuals with food allergies and improving access to allergen-free foods. Through partnerships, communication, research, and education, we aim to revolutionize food options for under-resourced, allergen-avoidant families by providing nutritionally balanced alternatives. Our vision is a world where individuals with dietary restrictions can enjoy meals without compromising their health, ensuring food security and inclusivity for all. We stock food pantries with allergen-friendly food staples to accommodate diverse dietary needs on a consistent basis.

We are seeking volunteers with interests in food equity and security, food justice, and specialty diets at the intersection of allergies, sustainability, and culturally responsive options. Open volunteer positions involve food pantry coordinating, community and onboarding outreach, partnerships, and graphic design. Virtual and in-person engagement opportunities are available.
