Start a Support Group

Interested in starting a Support Group? FARE-Recognized Support Groups and Support Group Leaders provide a valuable resource to the millions of families across the country managing the diagnosis of food allergy. They serve an integral role in carrying out FARE’s mission by hosting meetings, forums and events to help families living with food allergies feel safe, included and supported. Our Support Groups are completely volunteer-run, meaning if there is not one in your area, we are in need of community leaders like you to create one!

FARE is not responsible for any contact, private or commercial, that Support Group Leaders may receive as a result of posting your Support Group information in our public directory.
