By now it should be no secret that nonprofit organizations were hit hard during the COVID pandemic. Our community events and education in schools took the hardest hit. Fewer volunteers means fewer community events, like our beloved egg hunt and trunk-or-treat. Fewer volunteers also means outreach like our newsletter, social media, and blog took a hit. While realizing our plans over the last couple of years may not look how we initially thought they would, FAAM is still swimming! What has not changed is our mission of providing support to those diagnosed with food allergies and food allergy education in our Mid-South community. We've continued to fulfill requests for Zoom presentations and trainings, provide information to those managing a new food allergy diagnosis, and are thrilled to be facilitating in-person presentations again! So while things may look quiet on social media, know FAAM is working overtime to fulfill our mission. Want to help? Contact us and let us know how!
