Teal Pumpkin Project

Raising food allergy awareness and offering the option of non-food trinkets and toys in a separate bowl makes Halloween safer and more inclusive for all trick-or-treaters.

Bringing the ✨MAGIC✨ Back to Halloween

What If You Couldn’t?

What if you had a food allergy, and your body’s immune system overreacts to what should be a harmless food protein? A reaction can be as bad as life-threatening anaphylaxis. This means that some kids and their families don’t feel comfortable trick-or-treating, because the risk of being exposed to an allergen is just too high.

What If You ✨Could✨?

What if we could make it so kids with food allergies can enjoy Halloween with their friends, including going door-to-door for treats? When you offer non-food treats, more children get to enjoy Halloween without fear!

How to spread the ✨MAGIC✨

  1. Add your address to the Teal Pumpkin Project Map, so kids looking for non-food treats can plan their routes.
  2. Show your participation with a teal pumpkin or one of FARE’s free printable signs
  3. On Halloween, be sure to have non-food treats ready for trick-or-treaters!
