Dear John, When the pandemic began in March, all of us at PFLAG National had to shift gears -- fast. With over 400+ chapters across the country that meet in person, we knew we had thousands of families depending on us to ensure that PFLAG National’s support, education, and advocacy could still be available from the safety of home. That’s why, just one week after our team began working from home, PFLAG Connects was born -- a critical new program providing digital resources and virtual meeting space to our 400+ chapters across the country. And the response has been tremendously uplifting: “PFLAG Connects has been a lifeline, enabling our chapter to continue to provide support to our members and community.” “PFLAG has meant so much to me that I can’t imagine how my life would have gone without it. I’m grateful to the PFLAG National team who worked to set up PFLAG Connects so quickly.” “I hope PFLAG National will continue to offer this service so that all chapters, even those with limited budgets, can continue to have access to this valuable resource.” Your year-end gift of $50 or more today will make it possible to continue offering PFLAG Connects well into 2021, ensuring that every single PFLAG chapter is equipped to serve their community. Our ability to quickly pivot at the start of the pandemic so that we could continue to provide the life-saving resources PFLAG is known for would not have happened without you. Nothing is going to get in the way of our commitment to LGBTQ+ people and their families -- and with your support, we’ll be ready for anything that comes our way in 2021. |
