Research & Advocacy


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 13 children in the United States – or roughly two in every classroom. FARE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was formed in 2012 as the result of a merger between the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network and the Food Allergy Initiative.


Kids With Food Allergies Foundation (KFA) educates families and communities with practical food allergy management strategies to save lives and improve the quality of life for children and their families. One of the unique ways we provide this help is through our award-winning online community. Our community is the largest online support community for families raising children with food allergies and it's free!

In addition to recipes and educational resources, KFA hosts a diverse allergy community with over 20 specialized support forums for members, live chat events, photo and video sharing, and blogs published by our leadership and distinguished Medical Advisory Team.

Kids With Food Allergies is now a division of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). 




MOCHA (Mothers of Children Having Allergies) is a group of parents sharing information and supporting each other. The 350+ Chicagoland members of MOCHA know how frightening it can be to learn that your child has been diagnosed with severe, often life-threatening allergies.


AllerDine.com is the premier food allergy restaurant guide that describes the allergy friendliness of each restaurant. Information such as having a formal allergy policy, what allergens are on their menu, a list or book of ingredients, willingness to prepare a custom meal and kitchen layout, are available for each restaurant on the website to help you decide if it is an appropriate location for you and your family. Gluten, Peanuts, nuts, dairy and all other allergens are asked of each restaurant and their suppliers. Anaphylaxis and food allergies are not something to be taken lightly. We emphasize this with each restaurant. Dining out in your own town or while on vacation is now possible for anyone with food allergies. Search by key word, allergen, restaurant name or city. Now you can dine out too!
