Our mission: "Helping the community gain access to the latest medical research and resources while providing opportunities for families to bond with other families that are learning how to better handle the day-to-day concerns of a severe food allergy."

Our core values:
* Educate daycare centers, public and private schools to have a safer environment for children with food allergies.
* Develop national and satellite networks of families with food allergies.
* Help fund research to doctors, clinicians, allergists and hospitals that have a passion to lessen the symptoms or find a cure for food allergies.
* Educate the community and protect our families with food allergies because of the life threatening reaction that may occur.
