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.
Get FARE's 2025-26 Back-to-School Calendar!
This year, FARE created a 10-month calendar with tips for managing food allergy at school. We made this calendar with school nurses in mind, and are mailing out a limited number of copies as part of the FARE Neighborhoods Initiative. But we know that calendars come in handy for everyone! That's why we're providing a downloadable PDF, formatted for easy color printing on letter-sized (8.5" x 11") paper.

We want to bring evidence-based food allergy guidelines like FAMS to more schools and we’ve set a goal of raising $50,000 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?
