Trick-or-Treat for Food Allergy
Time to start thinking about your Halloween costume! And time to register for FAAN’s Trick-or-Treat for Food Allergy! For the last several years, children all over the U.S. have participated in this program that allows them to safely trick-or-treat without any worry by having them collect donations in a FAAN Trick-or-Treat bag. A prize will be given to the child who collects the most donations. Money raised will help support vital FAAN programs.

Your parents can learn more about our Trick-or-Treat program on FAAN’s website.
