FLO’s 4th Annual Winter Coat Drive and Wellness Fair held November 9th at the Living Classrooms/ Under Armour was gigantic and very memorable. The line for people waiting to receive free coats, clothes, food and free services was massive.
Over 3200 community members attended our event.
The Mayor of Baltimore Jack Young, as well as Councilman Leon Pinkett and Councilman Robert Stokes were in attendance.

Our event was very impactful, Conscious Heads Bootcamp Barbering School provided 47 free haircuts to community members, University of Maryland School of Dentistry offered free dental service to 30 attendees and in addition distributed giveaway dental kits to community members who visited their booth.
