Hurricane Sandy Relief and Recovery
On November 11, 2012 the Brothers of Queens Alumni and New Rochelle White Plains Alumni assisted Council Member James Sander's office in Far Rockaway, Queens with the distribution of clothing for those in need after Super Storm Sandy hit New York last week. Individuals in Far Rockaway are among those who were most affected by Sandy. We set up a distribution center in the parking lot of a thrift mall along with FEMA, the Red Cross, and other organizations where we gave out approximately 50 extra large bags worth of clothing, as well as water, diapers, and hot meals. Thank you to Brothers: Jason Gerald, Troy Miller, Caron Washington, Ernest Pope, Gavin Bennett,Seth Dressekie (donation) and Jason Caraballo (Polemarch New Rochelle White Plains).
