Taking on food allergies in the Hudson Valley

Filed under: Uncategorized — zachrodgers @ 6:28 pm

This site is the online home of the Hudson Valley Food Allergy Support Group. HVFASG was formed earlier this year as a resource for allergy sufferers, their parents and other loved ones to network, share information and advocate on issues related to food allergies in our communities.

Today we have members in Beacon, Cold Spring, and Wappingers Falls, but we hope to expand quickly to serve other towns and cities in the region. Check back for details on upcoming meetings and important community information. If you live in the Hudson Valley region and would like to attend our meetings or learn more about our efforts, please contact us at hvfoodallergy [at] yahoo.com.

Meanwhile, you can learn more about food allergy issues at some of the following links:

The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN): National organization providing advocacy and education, and funding research on behalf of those affected by food allergies and anaphylaxis.

What’s anaphylaxis, you ask? It’s a multi-system allergic response that can be fatal. Now you know.

Allergy & Asthma Foundation of America (AAFA): Advocacy, Education and Research. Similar in scope to FAAN but with a focus on asthma
