Help Us Bring FAMS to More Schools

Reach out to your school's principal, nurse, teachers, or other staff members and encourage them to use Food Allergy Management in Schools (FAMS): Expert Recommendations for K–12. We have a limited number of professionally printed food allergy awareness posters from FARE, on “How a Child Might Describe an Allergic Reaction,” perfect for sharing in an educational space. We will mail a poster to the first 350 people who reach out to a school in their community.

Back to School With Food Allergy Checklist

Getting ready for school can be overwhelming. FARE has compiled lists of who to talk to, what documents you need, and how to best prepare you and your child with food allergy for a confident return to school this year.

Give today to support our Back-to-School goal

We’ve raised $20,000 towards our work to support people living with food allergy. We want to bring evidence-based food allergy guidelines like FAMS to more schools and we’ve set a goal of raising $20,000 by September 15. Your generosity will increase our capacity and help us do so much more. Will you match our community’s generosity and make a gift today towards our goal for back-to-school season?
