The people in Brighton Beach/ Rockaway Beach need your help. In Brighton Beach alone there are 10k residents and 50% are elderly, many are still trapped in their high-rise apartments with no power and no elevators and no way to access the food/water/supplies that FEMA are distributing at street level. We are assembling a crew to take sandwiches, water, medical supplies, etc and climb the stairs to get these items to the people who can get down.
It’s too much red tape to officially volunteer, so we are going to do it ourselves.
Below is a list of the supplies we will need
In addition to the items we are taking out there we are in need of gasoline to get us there and back, its getting difficult to find it around here at the moment.
If you’d like to help but you aren’t in the greater New York area, you can send cash donations via PAYPAL to [email protected]
It will all go towards supplies, gas, food for this relief effort that will be happening tomorrow!
Please make all drop off’s between the hours of 5pm and 4am THIS EVENING (11/1) at THE DRINK. Located at 228 Manhattan Avenue, Between Grand & Maujer.
Chicken salad (easy to make a vat of)
Ziplock bags (we will need a lot of these)
Sheets (to cover broken windows)
Non-perishable foods/canned foods
Old Clothes (Sweatshirts, Sweatpants, Socks)
Freeze Gel Packs (the kind that snap in half)
Heat packs (that heat upon opening)
THE PLAN -
::Tomorrow morning at 8am, we will start making sandwiches and rationing items.
::At 11am crews will leave for Brighton Beach, where we know of five 23 story buildings that have no power and are filled with the elderly. If we are able, we will then head to the Rockaways and downtown Manhattan.
::If you have a truck or car that has a full tank, we can either use the transportation for more crew, or siphon your gas.
Please repost this as much as possible.
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!
