Food Allergy Association Of WI

I am here for Networking

About Me

Food Allergy Association of Wisconsin a non profit located in Madison Wisconsin
The support group is made up of over 350 families who are all dealing with severe and life threatening food allergies.
We meet every third Tuesday of the month during the school year, to discuss different topics related to food allergies. Some recent topics have been everything from new products and label reading, to the latest research and treatments.
By joining the Food Allergy Association of WI (Support Group) you will be gaining a wealth of information from people who have been there and are also dealing with the day to day struggles you may be facing.
Some other benefits are a playgroup during the summer months, and a buddy list where we will match up a newcomer with another family.
The Food Allergy Association of WI Mission is: ... to provide a supportive group environment for parents of children with food allergies; ... to raise awareness about the prevalence & severity of food allergies and the challenges of raising a child with food allergies, and; ... to inform and educate parents, caregivers, peers, and educators about safely caring for children with food allergies.
FAAW is a support group for adults and parents of children with medically diagnosed food allergies. FAAW does not give out medical advice. If you think you have a food allergy, please contact your physician

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other people with Food Allergies. Family & Friends of Food Allergic People.
Anyone who wants to help promote Awareness and Education about the severity of Food Allergies.
Companies that are allergy aware, make others aware, and generally make life a little bit easier for those with Food Allergies.
