Welcome Meeting
Come meet everyone and hear what we're planning this semester. There will be snacks.
University of Pennsylvania
Gluten-free at Penn, together.
We're Penn students who eat gluten-free, some because of celiac and some by choice. We eat together, share the places that actually get it right, and push Penn Dining to do better.
About Us
Eating gluten-free in college is hard. Menus change, cross-contact is everywhere, and it's easy to end up eating alone. We started this club so nobody has to figure it out by themselves.
Eat together
Dinners and potlucks where you don't have to ask what's in everything.
Know where to go
Which dining halls are safe, which restaurants get it right, and how to set up accommodations.
Make it better
We talk to Penn Dining about clearer labels, separate prep, and more gluten-free options.
Our Mission
The Penn Gluten-Free Society brings together University of Pennsylvania students who eat gluten free, whether by necessity or by choice. We create a community where you can sit down to a meal without worrying about what's in it, and we work with Penn Dining to make eating gluten-free on campus easier.
Events
Everything we serve is gluten-free, so you can eat whatever's on the table.
TBA—
GF Restaurant Night
We pick a celiac-friendly restaurant in Philly and go as a group.

Baking Social
We bake gluten-free desserts together, and you take the recipes home.
We post dates on our Instagram, @penngfsociety.
GF Dining Guide
Places and tips from our members. When you order, say it's for celiac or a medical need, and ask how they avoid cross-contact.
On Campus
Penn Dining Halls
Allergen labels are posted at each station. Ask a manager if they have a separate gluten-free prep area. Penn Dining's dietitian can also set up accommodations for you.
