We hope that you will financially support PFLAG by becoming a paid member. We did have an increase in paid members for 2016, but the percentage of persons who are paid members compared to the number who receive our newsletter is very low. It is becoming more difficult for us to keep up our various ways of supporting the community without additional funds.
Our chapter is proud to be a part of the PFLAG National organization. With local affiliates in more than 500 communities across the United States and abroad and over 200,000 members, PFLAG is the largest grassroots-based family organization of its kind. It is a nonprofit organization and is not affiliated with any religious or political institutions.
Some of what we do is listed below.
