Hey Friends,
Thanks so much for joining our Hurricane Sandy relief group! This list is here for YOU -- post anytime you're volunteering and would like company. Or, you can share your impressions of what's needed on the ground to get needs and people connected.
Tomorrow Mieke and I and a few others are meeting at the Church of St. Luke and St. Matthew at 9:30 am for a short training by the Occupy Sandy folks, and then to be sent to the Rockaways, or wherever else we're needed. We have four vehicles lined up to go, I think. If you'd like to come, meet us there. The church is at 520 Clinton Street in Brooklyn.
If anyone needs to get in touch with me, my number is
206.948.4235.
We'll let you know how it goes.
I spent a short time distributing meals in the Gowanus houses this evening and folks there are in pretty good shape -- they have heat but no lights, and were glad to be checked in on. The electricity was supposed to come on later that evening -- fingers crossed.
