First-Time Visitors to Kids With Food Allergies

Dear Fellow Food Allergy Family,

As the parent of a son who’s had multiple food allergies since birth, I would like to welcome you to our new Kids With Food Allergies Web site! Here you will find our wonderful, caring online community, Parents of Food Allergic Kids (POFAK) in its new home, as well as resources on our Web site to assist you in raising a child with food allergies. I encourage you to take your time to look around and find out what our new Web site offers you. Here are some highlights:

• POFAK Community is our most popular and active feature and where parents connect with each other for support on our support forums.

• Resources will give you some practical, "been there" tips from other parents, articles and frequently asked questions (FAQs) developed by our Medical Advisory Team.

• Recipes in our Safe Eats ™ recipe database offers hundreds of food allergy recipes for your family in a searchable format.

• Our Membership Guide explains all of the benefits that a Family Membership provides.

• Our Shop KFA offers "Please don't feed me, I have food allergies" clothing for children, items sporting our attractive Kids With Food Allergies logo, and holiday cards that promote allergy awareness.

• Our Book Shop features food allergy books (for adults and children) and allergy cookbooks with a portion of the proceeds of your purchases going to support KFA.

•The Allergy Buyer's Guide is a directory of allergy-friendly businesses to help you find allergy-safe foods, allergy awareness products and more.

• Allergy Links will help you in your searching the Internet for sites about food allergies, and features some additional links of interest to you after they’ve been reviewed by our Medical Advisory Team.

If you’d like to learn more about who we are, look around in our About section, where you can find out about our Mission, see who comprises our volunteer Board of Directors and our multi-disciplinary Medical Advisory Team. Our About section also will tell you more about volunteer opportunities, other ways you can support our tax-exempt nonprofit organization and ways you can join as a member.

As a community of volunteers working together, we can do great things to support families and to help raise our children with food allergies so they live happy, safe, and healthy lives.

I invite you to join us on our food allergy journey!
