Homefree seeks to positively impact physical and emotional health, particularly of children and their families and communities. With regard to physical health, Homefree wholesome cookies provide a delicious “healthy snack” option for everyone, as well as an option safe for people with most food allergies and other special dietary needs.

Homefree cookies were designed to make it easy for food providers - whether at stores, home, schools, or other food service establishments - to include everyone together when treats are offered. This is a particularly important experience for children, to support a positive self concept and sense of belonging. For schools grappling with how to meet the needs of students with and without food allergies, Homefree offers a positive solution that is tasty and healthful for everyone.
