First Annual FARE Neighborhoods Day
Washington, D.C. | October 17, 2024
A Day of Culture, Collaboration, and Connection on Food Allergy and Community Health
At the inaugural FARE Neighborhoods Day, attendees will engage in insightful discussions on how best to address disparities in quality of life and health for those with food allergy, delve into proven strategies for mitigating food allergy disparities, and collectively craft a tangible action plan to ensure every individual experiencing disparities in food allergy resources and care can thrive regardless of where they work, live, and play.
This gathering will unite community leaders, patients, caregivers, and innovative thinkers to shape a future where food allergy care, resources and support are accessible to all.
Attendees will witness the intersection of artistry and advocacy as art reflects our community's voice, igniting conversations that extend far beyond the event. FARE has commissioned a local artist to create a custom work in celebration of the first annual FARE Neighborhoods Day.
FARE Neighborhoods Day is more than just an event—it's a catalyst for meaningful change and inspiring dialogue, paving the way toward a more inclusive and healthy future for all with food allergy.
