 Food Allergy Awareness Week's 20th Anniversary is next week, May 14-20, 2017. This is the perfect time to share food allergy facts with friends and family on social media, print handouts for teachers and administrators at school, and raise awareness at your community center or place of worship. It is also a great time to celebrate YOU - the young adult managing food allergies at college, the parent or teacher of an allergic child, the grandparent caring for an allergic grandbaby. Food allergies may be challenging at times, but you are doing a great job managing them and living a full life! Go ahead, take a moment to pat yourself on the back!

Awesome resources! I am now following on Twitter, retweeted story time! I am now following on Pinterest and pinned the idea about teaching kids about their food allergies with charts and pointers!

I am so thankful for all the resources you share. Your posts have encouraged more dialogue in our family about food allergies. I followed on Pinterest and pinned a book I'm sure my little book worm would love. I also liked the public page and shared on Facebook. Thanks for all you do!

Thanks so much Allison! It's so nice to hear that our info has prompted more discussion for you and yours! :) 5/30/2017 01:26:10 pm
When you or a family member has a food allergy, you resign yourself to the realization that there is no cure. Though the solution seems simple eliminate the food that you are allergic to that's anything but simple in our fast-paced lives of eating packaged and restaurant foods.

Very true, it is very challenging. That is why education and advocacy is key to community awareness and understanding. Leave a Reply. |
