What Is ROCK?
R.O.C.K. (Raising Our Celiac Kids) Twin Cities is a non-profit group made up of volunteers that provides information and support for families whose children have celiac disease. The organization works to increase awareness of the disease through its website, events and education programs.

The first chapter started in California almost 20 years ago. R.O.C.K.`s Twin Cities chapter is one of 65 chapters across the United States. The local chapter started in 1999 with just a handful of families. The group is now over 200 families strong! Members have one special bond: raising a family that has a child or children that must remain gluten-free. It is a challenge. That is why we come together regularly to share information about gluten-free products, shopping for food, dining out, diagnosis, and other joys and frustrations that come along with being the parent of a celiac child.

Organization Goals:

• Educate & support newly diagnosed families. See What is Celiac Disease? and Eating Gluten Free for details
• Increase public awareness of Celiac Disease; including organizing events like Walk/Run for Celiac Disease.
• Educate the public and medical community about Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free diets
• Find gluten-free food and restaurants for kids
• Provide fun opportunities for children & families with Celiac Disease with our Swim Party, Picnic and Gluten-Free Fun Camp.
• Assist parents with questions about being gluten-free in school and day care.
• Hold regular Twin Cities R.O.C.K. support group meetings

We look forward to having you and your family in our group and watching your child grow-up gluten-free!
