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
Kids With Food Allergies Web site! Here you will find
our wonderful, caring online community, Parents of Food Allergic
Kids (POFAK™), as well as resources on our
Web site to assist you in raising a child with food allergies.
Many services and resources are open free to the public, or through free registration (Associate membership); however, other services are reserved for Family Members only. To find out more about the benefits of full access that Family Membership offers, please see our .

out what our Web site offers you. Here are some highlights:

popular and active feature and where parents connect with each
other for 24x7 support on our support forums. Our Main Support Forum is open to both Associate (read-only) and Family Members. Family Members enjoy full access to 17 other forums. These forums are moderated by a trained volunteer support team to nuture and encourage a safe community.
