"There is enormous outcry about Hurricane Sandy and the path of destruction it left ... if you truly want to be EFFECTIVE in your response, you have to listen to the needs of the people on the ground...I was lucky enough to join Melissa Berman from East End Cares as she spearheaded an election day trip into Rockaway with a group of about 30 volunteers....Please contact East End Cares or one of the following groups to get an accurate read on what donations you might supply and especially, if you're headed west to help, get a contact on the ground to point you in the right direction.
