Our story…
The journey to Food Allergy Awareness Supporters began the Summer of 2008. The backyard was buzzing with kids sprinting through yards, adults gathering near playsets, and summer days fading fast. A short walk across the yard on that lazy summer day connected two moms. After a whirlwind of conversation about families, kids and food allergies...Food Allergy Awareness Supporters took it's first step.
There must be other families meeting the challenges & triumphs of living with food allergies! We drew support & understanding from each other, which could only be found from another parent of a child with a life-threatening food allergy. We both were preparing for the school year and the thought of our sons venturing off to school loomed over our heads. A simple idea and the committment to keeping food allergic kids safe transformed into a local educational support group . And so... individual journeys merged and grew into a community of support through all of you!
We are truly honored to be part of such an amazing group of people and look forward to the outreach, initiatives, and friendships formed through FAAS.
