Understanding the Challenge of Allergy-Friendly Potlucks

Planning a school event that involves food can be a daunting task, especially when considering the diverse dietary needs and allergy concerns of students. An allergy-friendly potluck is not just a thoughtful gesture; it's a necessary step towards ensuring the safety and inclusion of all participants.
