Volunteer Sandy This Weekend!

Lots to do.  From Ty Breuer:

We are maintaining our commitment this coming weekend to our beloved beaches and communities that were devastated by this storm. Those places and people are still in need of our help. Towards that end, we are heading to Long Beach this weekend to lend a hand. 

Meeting spot is UNDER THE BQE, across from Union Pool — 9AM Saturday (vans leave at 9:15). 

 WHAT TO BRING: Work clothes, boots, and gloves. Best to bring a small backpack with any essentials you might need during the day — a sandwich, water, snacks, flashlight (a headlamp is great). Things like Advil are a good idea, too. 

 SAFETY NOTE: If you plan on doing work in homes or structures that were flooded, make sure you are using a mask / respirator that has an N95 or P100 designation. These are available at the donation center in Long Beach, though if you have or can get your own, all the better. 

 LOGISTICS: We will have one van (fits 15 people) leaving from Brooklyn location, and one van leaving from Manhattan location (RSVP for that one at lbreliefmanhattan.eventbrite.com)
