Thank you all for coming to our
event and for making it such a success.
We had almost 60 companies from
around the country to showcase their products and share information about their company or organization. Those with food allergies or Celiac Disease were delighted to be the recipient of all the wonderful samples
and information being shared.
This was the fourth year POCA
of DuPage hosted this event. This year was particularly special because we joined
forces with the CSAGC and Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital. While
we were expecting 250 people to attend, we are delighted to report that 400-450 people attended our event.
In addition to the wonderful
opportunity to sample these specialized foods, CSA Executive National Chef, Aaron Flores prepared some of his favorite dishes
during the event. Aaron Flores who
is also the Executive Chief for the DoubleTree Hotel Chicago Oak Brook has a passion for preparing meals for people with special
food requirements. He was a wonderful addition to our resource event.
We will be setting next years
event date shortly so stay tune!
