Any Roosevelt Island Interest In Donating Extra Hurricane Sandy Supplies And Volunteering To Help Clean Up Community Ask Residents - How About It
You Tube Video of Hurricane Sandy Red Cross Volunteers
A reader with a very good idea asks:
I'm wondering if there will be any sort of Roosevelt Island collection? Like many people, we stocked up on water, candles, and dry goods. We could use these I guess, but I feel like there are probably a lot of people who NEED them way more that we do.Another resident asks:
It'd be great to hear if anyone is organizing a collection - we'd love to donate our extras.
Is there any kind of volunteer headed cleanup effort going on? like raking leaves etc? If there is....I would love to volunteer......Any one else interested. Let's get started.
If President Obama and NJ Governor Chris Christie can work together
well so can we.
