United for a Stronger Lofains Community
Since 1991, the Federation of Lofains Association in Ohio (FLAO) has been dedicated to uplifting vulnerable individuals, promoting mental health, and preserving cultural heritage. Guided by our elders’ vision, we stand as a family committed to education, empowerment, and unity.
Our Story
The Federation was born out of necessity and love for our people. When the elders of the Lofains community came together more than three decades ago, their goal was to create a place of belonging and strength. Today, that legacy continues as we provide vital education, support, and resources to help our community thrive.
Mission
To serve vulnerable individuals, promote education on mental health, drug prevention, and civic responsibility, while preserving our traditions and strengthening community bonds.
Vision
A united and empowered Lofains community that embraces its heritage, uplifts future generations, and contributes positively to society with dignity and pride.
United for a Stronger Lofains Community
At the heart of FLAO is our community. We believe that lasting change begins with empowering individuals—especially the vulnerable, the youth, and families who need guidance the most. By bringing people together, encouraging dialogue, and providing support, we strengthen not just individuals but the entire Lofains community.
This is more than programs—it’s about connection, dignity, and hope. Every person has a story, and every story adds to the strength of who we are as one people.
Our Impact
For over 30 years, FLAO has created meaningful change:
Empowered youth through civic and cultural education.
- Raised awareness on mental health and reduced stigma.
- Provided a safe platform for cultural preservation and intergenerational learning.
- Built partnerships with local government and organizations to expand community impact.
Our work isn’t just about today—it’s about creating a foundation of hope and opportunity for tomorrow.
