Folks:
We in Fredon are part of a community that has a great deal of resources and experience. I would like to employ some of our free time during this "stay at home" period to help each other out.
My thought is to form a small group of volunteers to reach out to those that need help. By forming a Facebook page, we could offer aid for people needing grocery pickup, medicine or other store bought needs. We would use the Facebook page for instant message to return call of need or take donations.
I will meet with grocery store, bagel shops, and independent markets, stores where we all shop and solicit donations for those in need.
This is a concept that can give us an opportunity to be productive during this crisis. To volunteer please email me at johnpflora@gmail.com or call me at: 201-230-4967.
John Flora, Mayor
Update:
Alright folks, here's a quick update: I have a TON of volunteers...now what we need are people in NEED. Please check in with your neighbors to make sure they are alright and have the things they need to get through this. Please make sure you are reaching out and hitting your contacts around town to make sure no one is uncomfortable, shy or embarrassed or possibly just isn't aware that help is out there. Please contact Anthony Corcella at Anthony.corcella@gmail.com. Anthony will be the coordinator/contact person going forward.
