We are proud to share our #TealLoveShinesBright Food Allergy Awareness Month campaign again for 2021!

With COVID-19 still keeping us limited as to what we can do, some neighbors looking for a change of scenery are passing by our windows still now more than ever. Show that you care about people living with food allergies by proudly displaying this cheery downloadable poster – and let Teal Love shine in your community!

You can also spread Teal Love by changing your social media profile and cover images with #TealLoveShinesBright to help raise awareness during Food Allergy Awareness Month.

Food Allergy Awareness Activities and Tools:

  • Introduce your students to common food allergens and safety protocols while encouraging empathy for classmates with a food allergy. Share FAACT's Food Allergy Curricula Program for Schools with the teacher-designed PowerPoint presentations, lesson plans, and activities in this free curriculum.

  • FAACT bookmarks & posters to share with family, friends, and school personnel. It’s an easy – and useful – way to share important information about food allergies. Order your FAACT Bookmarks & Posters today to be shipped in time for FAAW!

  • Change your Profile and Cover photos on social media to FAACT's Share the FAACTs and Know the FAACTs for Food Allergy Awareness Week/Month.

  • Raise awareness in your community and send a press release to your local newspaper and/or schedule a radio interview. Not sure where to start? Download FAACT’s 2021 press release and personalize it for your community and/or schedule a radio interview.

  • Request a proclamation from your governor or local elected official(s). Arrange for a public signing and/or photo opportunity and share the event with local media (papers, TV, radio, etc.).

  • Print out and distribute FAACT’s Resources Flyer in your community. Encourage local allergist and pediatrician’s office to distribute the flyer to their patients. Encourage school professionals, healthcare professionals, restaurant & food service personnel, family, teens, and friends to distribute the flyer throughout their networks.

  • Use social media to educate your friends and family about food allergies and anaphylaxis. See FAACT’s messages below for each day under “Share the FAACTs”.

  • Post a blog about Food Allergy Awareness Week.

  • Start a food allergy support group! Visit FAACT’s support group development section to get started.
