Thanks again for referring me to: www.rockawayhelp.com. It's a wonderful site with information so I can find ways to help friends in the Rockaways. My wife and I just got back from the Rockaways. The Marine Park Bridge is open and it is toll free today. I went into Ft. Tilden. The Virginia Missionary Trucks are there. They are making 30,000 meals a day. The Red Cross (which is just setting up there) will deliver the food. I went into Breezy and tried to find my friends house. The roads are bad as expected and would probably need a 4x4 to reach him. On the way there, a quarter of the way in as you enter Breezy, my wife and I noticed a Church on the left (South side) with donations in front of the Church (St. Frances??). We spoke to the volunteer who said the gym is completely filled mostly with clothing. They do not need more cloths. We left cleaning supplies along with paper towels. More trips to come. On the way out, we stopped off at the Silver Gull Club which is opened with a sign posted - which reads in essence "…no clothing needed but you can leave food, water, shovels, boxes and brooms…" I would also add large black plastic bags. We were told that the residents can vote at St. Johns Church. On the way back over the Bridge, I looked into Floyd Bennett and saw a ton of trucks in there (FEMA? etc.) <like href="http://www.noreast.com/postedreports/view.cfm?id=156716" send="false" show_faces="false" width='layout="button_count"'></like> |
