About Food Allergy Allies:
Food Allergy Allies is a registered 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization founded to address the gap at the intersection of food insecurity and food allergies. While many food assistance programs provide essential support to families in need, individuals with dietary restrictions often face additional barriers to accessing safe foods. Common pantry staples often contain allergens, and allergen-friendly alternatives are frequently more expensive, less available, or overlooked in donation efforts. As a result, families managing food allergies can experience limited food choices, increased financial strain, and heightened concerns about food safety.
Through partnerships with local food pantries, community organizations, and volunteers, we work to increase the availability of allergen-friendly foods for underserved communities. We strive to raise awareness about the unique challenges faced by families navigating both food insecurity and food allergies. By creating more equitable food systems, Food Allergy Allies aims to ensure that everyone has access to food that is not only nutritious, but safe to eat.
Our Mission:
We believe that everyone deserves access to food that accomodates their dietary restrictions. Our mission is to eliminate barriers faced by individuals with food allergies by expanding access to allergen-free foods and promoting equity within food assistance programs.
