FOOD ALLERGY ASSOCIATION OF WISCONSIN, INC.
The Food Allergy Association of Wisconsin, Southeast Wisconsin Chapter was first formed
in November 2010 and officially became a chapter of the Food Allergy Association of
Wisconsin in April 2011. The volunteer group is made up of families who are living
with severe and life threatening food allergies. We hope to connect families and adults
living with food allergies in Southeast Wisconsin, raise awareness and provide support
and educational resources for parents, caregivers, peers and educators about safely caring for children with food allergies.
