Hello everyone! This is Tiffany Lewis-Castillo, founder and CEO of PFPO Pens for Pals Organization; a 501(c)(3) non-profit. I’d like to take a few minutes to tell you about our organization and give you the most updated information available, in real time, regarding Hurricane Florence.
We are are a national and international pool of resources and very generous volunteers for any natural disaster.
While all of our efforts are going to remain focused on short-term rapid response and long-term recovery, relief and rebuilding of affected areas, we are currently setting up the largest warehouse distribution drop off, and delivery (hopefully in Fayetteville depending on the water rising).
While we may have started out as a suicide prevention and anti-bullying organization, our 501(c)(3) has come a very long way in a few years.
As for our immediate needs and plans, we are in need of truckload donations and trustworthy volunteers to help fundraise and gather resources to the most amount of people that we can possibly serve.
I can say that I am so proud of this nation for pulling forger so rapidly, I am honored to get to be a part of this hurricane, while we are still in Phase 4 of rebuilding and getting people certified in a skill or trade- from Hurricane Harvey.
In the near future, we will be holding fundraisers and adopting families for the holidays, again this year.
We are hoping for national help. We have no limits to the amount of resources that will come to our first warehouse in NC; all trucks will be routed there. We also have 6 private planes available from one of our partners.
We look forward to your support and would love to gather a large amount or even a few volunteers that would like to help us save those and sustain, feed, clothe, and eventually rebuild these communities. We are a very devoted team and always looking for amazing people to partner with and work with.
Please let us know if you or anyone you know is able to gather donations, a warehouse, food, water feed up to 4,000 people a day, or can help with the unloading/ loading and distribution of our donations.
Every single donation we get is 100% fully tax deductible and our products are brand new. We are a network seasoned, vetted volunteers, we work with several stores, of stores for in-kind donations, but we always need more during times of crisis.
At the end of the day, when all
Of the other volunteers and teams have left the area, we will remain in tact all the way through the rebuilding process, which will take years.
I am excited to see us all come together again this year to serve so many, and look forward to developing new relationships with families and volunteers.
We have had many lifetime friendships develop during times of crisis and we look forward to your kind heart, generosity, and beautiful souls to join us in bringing about a rapid set up and distribution center that will stand as the "main" centralized hub for N.C.
Thank you in advance and god bless!

The mission of PFPO is to reduce the crippling rates of suicide and to offer free mental healthcare to those in need, including using the latest technology to unite our communities.
Description
PFPO Pens for Pals is an international volunteer based anti-bullying, suicide prevention non-profit organization devoted to reducing the crippling rates of suicide by as much as 25% in the next decade. We utilize the latest technology and peer-to-peer mentors to serve our communities and keep them bully free.
We match our clients with a peer or mentor, we have a text program that delivers twice daily inspirational texts, and we also have an app and a store called Hope Box.
The purpose of Hope Box is to provide those in need, much needed comfort and hope. For every Hope Box purchased, we donate one to a very sick child or child or an adult with a terminal illness; such as cancer. Our philosophy is that flowers don't last, so why not give your loved ones a handmade gift that will create memories for years to come, for the same price as flowers?
Our unique programs and our outstanding ability to work alongside like minded organizations has proven to provide long-term support, services and safer communities.
