Staten Island Strong

10/10/2015

Hey everyone! Columbia, SC was hit hard with flooding from Hurricane Joaquin. I shared our experience about how we all set up an Amazon wedding registry for people near and far to help us through the devastation. Take a moment, and send them supplies that they really need. They stood by us during Sandy. Now it's our turn. No gift is too small. Buy some trash bags, buy some rubber gloves. We are in this together.

Is anyone available Monday the 18th or Wednesday the 20th for some Hurricane Sandy volunteering? All day thing but you'll be fed and you'll be on HGTV.

There are so many amazing groups out there doing amazing things. Working together we're an unstoppable force. Sandy Rebuild Staten Island- Yellow Team, Cedar Grove Instant Kitchen, F.F. Carl Vincent Bini Memorial- Events Page, Operation Sandy Claus. There are days and long nights where every second of volunteering can be taxing to even the best. Then you have a night like tonight where everything lines up and everyone steps up and you just can't be any prouder of the people you are honored to stand side by side with. Pallets of Chocolate chip cookies, storage concerns addressed, toy donation drives, oh and 1000+ Christmas trees just in time for the holidays.

The holidays are almost here. Christina DeClara has helped create an amazing toy drive. You can even participate from your couch by way of Amazon. Go give Christmas back to kids who've lost everything.

Today was a cold gray day, but the fire that every one of our volunteers burned was brighter and warmed every house we touched. Between the thankful tears, the sweat from muscle, and the laughter of bonds being forged during all this- amazing is the only word that continues to describe what happens when individuals come together in the face of tragedy. We'll get some fotos up shortly, but they won't be able to capture what's been happening on the ground. To each and every one of you that has come out (past, present, and future) this has been a truly humbling and moving experience and a thank you will never be enough for us to express what it is that you are all doing.

Hi Everyone,
Tomorrow night the Carl Vincent Bini Memorial fund will hold this event. It will raise money that helps, among many other ways, to directly get our volunteers supplies and necessities.
Please come out to support.
