About FARE
Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE)
works on behalf of the 15 million Americans with food
allergies, including all those at risk for life-threatening
anaphylaxis. This potentially deadly disease affects 1 in
every 13 children in the U.S. – or roughly two in every
classroom. FARE’s mission is to improve the quality of life
and the health of individuals with food allergies, and to
provide them hope through the promise of new treatments. Our
work is organized around three core tenets: LIFE – support
the ability of individuals with food allergies to live safe,
productive lives with the respect of others through our
education and advocacy initiatives; HEALTH – enhance the
healthcare access of individuals with food allergies to
state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment; and HOPE –
encourage and fund research in both industry and academia
that promises new therapies to improve the allergic
condition.
