If you need help or have help to give…
Times are difficult as we face the enormous challenges and heartaches of Covid.19 in our cities, our country and the world. In some small way Flobel and Gray Panthers would like to help by connecting with you through a collection of resources for health, comfort, services and spiritual well being. We now are also in the extraordinary season of Thanksgiving. Hanukkah, Christmas and Kwanza. We have all been through alot these past 2 years . But , at last, hope is still alive and stronger every day.
We encourage you to follow our website with updated resources as needed. For your convenience we have formatted the site in a book style resource with each chapter highlighting areas of interest. Should you encounter difficulty and cannot access help there is a point of contact number. There is also a very special page dedicated to healthcare workers, first responders and where donations can be made.
May, I take this opportunity to wish you and your family peace, health and promise
