Commack Boy Scouts Volunteer to Help those with Life-Threatening Allergies

Local troops hand out water to participants in the annual walk for Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE).

Boy Scouts from Commack's Troop 125 volunteered over the weekend to support those with food allergies, including those at risk for life-threatening anaphylaxis.

More than 1, 500 people participated in the Food Allergy Research and Education Walk Oct. 13 at Eisenhower Park. The local scouts lent as hand as they passed out water to all the participants at two locations along the route while offering them encouragement to keep on walking.

FARE works on behalf of the 15 million Americans with food allergies.
