Last week, FFLIC was in the midst of preparations to celebrate our 20th Anniversary with a Virtual Gala Benefit on September 10, but due to the tragic circumstances of Hurricane Ida, we must postpone this event in order to focus all our efforts on supporting our communities. If you are wondering how to get donations directly to families in need, FFLIC provides emergency funds to sustain member families as they attempt to recover and rebuild. OUR FAMILIES AND YOUTH NEED YOUR HELP— PLEASE DONATE NOW at www.fflic.org/donations or use CashApp $FFLIC. Your compassionate and generous contribution will be used to provide families with emergency stipends while they await FEMA support as well as allow FFLIC to continue to outreach and advocate for those most directly impacted by this crisis.

FFLIC staff is okay and we hope you are okay.
