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.

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.).
