Food Allergy Awareness Week is May 10-16, 2015! 
Food Allergy Awareness Week was created to educate others about food allergies, a potentially life-threatening medical condition. We encourage you to educate others during Food Allergy Awareness Week about food allergies! 

Gilmer County Declared Food Allergy Awareness Week for May 10-16, 2015! 

Chairman Charlie Paris signed a county Proclamation for Gilmer County on May 5, 2015 along with Northeast Georgia Support Group members in attendance, to recognize FOOD ALLERGY AWARENESS WEEK for the week of May 10-16, 2015. Chairman Charlie Paris and staff is helping build recognition and support for food-allergic citizens within our county.

Looking for a way to educate others on Food Allergy Awareness Week? Here are some samples! 

Be A Pal: Protect A Life From Food Allergies. FARE developed the Be A Pal: Protect A Life from Food Allergies program to help educate the friends of children with food allergy. This program provides educators with the tools for teaching students how to help friends who have food allergies.

By getting peers involved in a positive manner early in the school year, you foster a positive, supportive environment for your student with food allergies, and build another layer of protection against food- allergic reactions. 

Share FAACT’s bookmarks and posters with family, friends, and school personnel. It’s an easy – and useful – way to share important information about food allergies.
