"My daughter has had food allergies her whole life. This is a wonderful opportunity to give back in terms of all the things she has learned, and we have learned as a family, on how to identify, understand, show respect to, and stay safe with food allergies. Thank you for partnering with FARE!" – Parent, Girl Scouts of Suffolk County

"It was wonderful how the patch introduced the girls to some things that most of them have not had to think about before. Only a few of the girls who earned the patch had food sensitivities or allergies, so the girls who were learning about it for the first time were earnest and excited to learn more about how they can make the world safer for their friends." – Troop leader, Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia
