WAPF-NYC and its Chapter Leaders Sophia Knapinski and Claudia Keel founded and developed the Traditional Food Club (TFC) in January 2001. In 2007, Claudia Keel transitioned the club into a non-profit newly named the Traditional Nutrition Guild (TNG), and in 2010 founded its subsidiary the Traditional Food Club. The organization is wholly independent of the chapter and its leaders. Neither the chapter nor its founders manage the TNG or TFC any longer.
