We work to strengthen families and communities affected by food allergies!

The Food Allergy Support Group of Minnesota (FASGMN) has positively impacted the lives of many families living with food allergies. We focus on children with food allergies and their caregivers. The families we help typically come to us full of fear and anxiety. The idea of preparing the next meal or sending their children to daycare or school is terrifying.

FASGMN provides hope, education and emotional support to these families by offering numerous programs designed to help them live in the real world. Some of our programs include:

  • Interactive, informational website
  • Buddy Program for individual support
  • Y.E.S. (Youth Empowered by Support) program for kids
  • Support group meetings for caregivers
  • Educational webinars
  • Annual Food Allergy Resource Fair
  • Safe family events


Join us as we move forward on our mission! Visit our website at www.FoodAllergySupportMN.org. This is a gateway...the roadmap...for those living with allergies to find timely and helpful information.

As a non profit organization, we operate solely off of fundraising and donations. Most of our programs are offered free of charge! Please help us continue to make a difference in the food allergy community, by making a donation.

    The initial diagnosis of food allergies can be overwhelming. You leave the doctor's office knowing what is medically wrong, but are left to figure out how to manage life with food allergies on your own. That is where FASGMN comes in! Whether a family is facing a new diagnosis or a new milestone in their child's life, FASGMN can help teach them how to "live" with food allergies. We found this organization after my son had an anaphylactic reaction when he was 4 months old. They provided (and continue to provide) much needed support for my family as we learned to deal with multiple severe food allergies.

    The FASGMN helps families by providing one on one support through their buddy system and community support through programs like their Food Allergy Resource Fair. The group has helped my family tremendously through our journey living with food allergies.

    The group has made great progress in the area of food allergy awareness, education and support, and the continued funding of these important programs will ensure the newly-diagnosed have a place to go to get information and best practices in support of their journey.
