As part of National Volunteer Week (April 11 – 15) Food Allergy Canada would like to thank all of our dedicated volunteers across the country who have made a difference in supporting individuals and families living with food allergies. Our volunteers have given their time and efforts to:
- Support our annual conference and local educational events
- Contribute to programs and resources for the community
- Share their experiences in media interviews, newsletter articles and social media
- Mentor youth with food allergies in our Allergy Pals/Allergy Allies program
