Flushing Financial Corporation (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: FFIC), the
parent holding company for Flushing Bank (the “Bank”), announced
today that the Bank is contributing to FIPA of USA efforts to send
5,000 oxygen concentrators to India.
John R. Buran, President and CEO of Flushing
Bank, stated, “We pride ourselves on our close connection to the
multicultural markets we serve. The South Asian/Indian community is
one such market. As news of the COVID crisis in India surfaced, we
recognized the impact it was having on our employees and customers
who have family and friends living in India. Our introduction to
FIPA of USA and its efforts to send oxygen concentrators to areas
in India that desperately need it presented an opportunity for us
to contribute in a meaningful way.”
Dr. Raj Bhayani, President of FIPA, added,
“Federation of Indian Physicians Associations (FIPA) is grateful
for the support of Flushing Bank, and appreciates its donation for
the much needed oxygen concentrators to India. With this donation,
Flushing Bank becomes the partner of the coalition of more than
twenty-five organizations along with FIPA, who have joined hands to
fight the war against COVID in India.”
