PAMELA’S PRODUCTS HELPS GROUPS CELEBRATE PANCAKE TUESDAY WITH PANCAKE MIX DONATIONS ORGANIZATIONS AND PARISHES CAN REQUEST PANCAKE MIX DONATIONS ONLINE
Ukiah, CA (January, 2010) – Pamela’s Products, an award-winning leader in the gluten-free foods arena, celebrates Pancake Tuesday with pancake mix donations to community groups, church parishes and firehouses. While events built around the allure of pancakes have become a more frequent addition to most community calendars, Pancake Tuesday, taking place on February 16, 2010, is considered one of the largest nation-wide pancake events.
With church parishes and community centers either preparing for Lent or simply celebrating an old Irish tradition, Pancake Tuesday is a day to bring together friends and strangers to share a meal. While, being a gluten-intolerant parishioner or community member can be an isolating experience, more organizations and parishes are taking steps to ensure that their shared meals are more inclusive and adhere to the dietary needs of all their members.
Pamela’s Products has been donating their pancake mix for community pancake events year-round since their earliest days 22 years ago. They have increasingly been asked to donate more, as the preferred choice, many times in place of the traditional wheat based pancake mixes. Parishes and organizations can simply contact Pamela’s Products by logging onto to their website at http://www.pamelasproducts.com to arrange donations and they will send their gluten-free pancake mix to your event.
Pamela’s Products Baking & Pancake Mix accommodates the dietary needs of parishioners and members of the community who have to or choose to follow a gluten-free diet, and the pancakes are also delicious, light and fluffy. Versatile and easy-to-use, Pamela’s Baking & Pancake Mix is a top seller nation-wide and considered a staple by those who lead a gluten-free lifestyle. As stated Stephanie Robbins, Marketing Director for Pamela’s Products, “We’ve had several parishes call us initially for a small order of pancake mix to accommodate the gluten-intolerant members of the community. But, as years passed, the orders for our pancake mix got bigger and bigger because ALL the members–gluten-free and the rest–simply preferred the taste of our pancakes over the wheat option. We’ve done several pancake events that only feature our pancakes because the community just likes our product and not because it is gluten-free.”
Organizations hosting a Pancake Tuesday or other pancake event can contact Pamela’s Products through their website at http://www.pamelasproducts.com to arrange details. Pamela’s Products are a trustworthy staple for those on a gluten-free diet including Celiacs. Celiac Disease is the world’s most common autoimmune disease, with the only treatment today being a strict adherence to a diet devoid of gluten. Gluten is most commonly contained in wheat (durum, semolina, kamut, spelt), rye, barley and triticale. (For more complete information, please visit http://www.gluten.net, “About”.) People with autism spectrum disorders, cancer, wheat allergies, alternative diets, and even those adhering to a Kosher or ‘natural’ diet, also frequently turn to Pamela’s Products for satisfying that sweet tooth or simply for making bread or pancakes.
