Your support drives real solutions for the gluten-free community.
GIG Cares is a nonprofit dedicated to addressing the greatest challenges faced by those living gluten-free. Established through a partnership between the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG)—a trusted leader in the gluten-free community for over 50 years—and the Wisconsin-based nonprofit Cutting Costs for Celiacs, GIG Cares was created to ensure critical resources reach those who need them most.
The story of GIG Cares began in 2013 when high school student Lexie Van Den Heuvel founded Cutting Costs for Celiacs to help low-income families adjust to the costs of a gluten-free lifestyle. In 2021, GIG joined forces with Cutting Costs for Celiacs to expand this program nationwide, forming GIG Cares as an independent 501(c)(3) organization.
This year alone, we provided essential Cutting Costs food boxes to over 1,000 families facing food insecurity. Additionally, we responded to families affected by natural disasters, supporting over 1,500 households impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton with more than $150,000 in donated gluten-free foods.
Your support is crucial to our mission. Together, we’re making a difference by tackling food insecurity and providing urgent care for those who need it most. With you by our side, we’re building a stronger, more resilient gluten-free community.
