POCA of DuPage was founded
November 2002 by two mothers who were struggling with the day-to-day challenges of raising children with severe food allergies
in conjunction with their Allergist. They thought it would be helpful to have
a group of people meet and share their experiences, wisdom and suggestions with one another. The group continually grows as
others learn that support is available and welcomes the opportunity to provide support for those dealing with food allergies.
Though some members are adults with life-threatening allergies,
most of our members are parents of various aged children diagnosed with severe food allergies. We also have members with professional
interest in receiving or sharing information on dealing with anaphylactic food allergies and/or others who wish to advocate
on behalf of people with these allergies.

The most important thing you will receive from this group is the assurance that you are not alone! There
are many of us out here and we are willing to share our hard-earned lessons, suggestions, tips and helpful hints for managing
day-to-day activities complicated by food allergies.
