FPWA has engaged in a variety of activities to help those hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy. If you have any questions about our work or if your organization or constituents have unmet needs contact Rev. Joel Gibson.* FPWA received funds from The New York Times to make grants to FPWA member agencies operating in the areas hardest hit by the hurricane. To date FPWA has given out seven grants of $10,000 each and is evaluating additional applications. We are still accepting applications from our members.

Contact Blanche Centeno-Hatwood or Judy Milone. * FPWA is coordinating a program with the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs to reach out to the immigrant community, especially those with undocumented or mixed immigration status, in the hardest hit areas to assess their unmet needs and connect them to available services. We are looking for agencies with services that may be helpful to the immigrant community and to help us identify households that could benefit from this outreach. For more information contact Eric Williams. * Support Hurricane Sandy Victims. |
