The Great Giveback is here again and this time, we are partnering with the National Kidney Foundation.
FPL has participated in the Great Giveback for several years. This year, the New York State Library has asked that we help dialysis patients by creating ‘comfort bags’. And we are asking for your help!
These items can be included in bags and are helpful to patients who spend long hours in dialysis clinics. If you can help, we are looking for new, unopened, and individual sizes of the following:
Lip Balm
Travel sized tissues
Travel sized – unscented – hand or body lotion
Adult coloring books
Adult puzzle books such as word find, trivia, mazes, or Sudoku
Colored pencils
Standard pencils
Starting next week, we will have note cards in the library as well. Stop by and write a supportive note to a patient that needs a little encouragement!
I hope you will join us in supporting patients in dialysis centers in Upstate New York. Thanks.
