Fair Lawn for All Ages (FLFAA) is a new age-friendly community initiative funded by a grant from the Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation. We believe that an Age-Friendly community is one for ALL ages. Our thought is that whether it's a park bench, walkable sidewalks, adequate transportation, fair housing options, entertainment and activities, or excellent health services, these things will help not only our older residents but our residents of ALL ages.

Senior Phone Buddy Program:
Senior isolation is a growing concern throughout our older adult community, especially during the pandemic.
We can begin to address this issue with your help - all it takes is a weekly phone call and some friendly conversation!

FLFAA Survey:
FLFAA is working closely with NYU Langone Health to conduct a community survey to help us identify the needs of our growing older adult community.
