One Bite
at a Time
Building a more inclusive food distribution system for families with food allergies and dietary restrictions.
ImpactOur mission is to ensure no family is deprived of the nutrition they deserve. We strive to build a more inclusive food distribution system: one bite at a time.
How Are We Different from Other Food Pantries?
For some families with severe food allergies, traditional food banks are often unsafe. Many rely on donated foods that may contain hidden allergens or risk cross-contamination, forcing families to choose between going hungry and risking a life-threatening reaction.
At Safe Bite Union, individuals with food allergies or dietary restrictions do not have to worry; we provide a pantry free of the top nine allergens, ensuring a safe and inclusive experience.
Testimonials
Words from Union Station residents who use our pantry and programs.
Thank you for providing the different snacks at the Family Center. My family and I enjoy them throughout the day. Between the sweet potato chips to the mini chocolate cups they provide stress free alternatives without the concern of common allergens.

The pantry has really helped me stretch my dollar. I'm able to pick up simple ingredients and still cook meals in the comfort of my home.

Living on a limited budget takes creativity, but the pantry makes a difference. Having ingredients that are shelf stable ensures I have food to last me the whole month.
