I hope you're doing ok up there.</p> <p>This is a registry that was set up and helps those affected in Brooklyn: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/registry/wedding/32TAA123PJR42" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/registry/wedding/32TAA123PJR42</a></p> <p>More information about that effort: <a href="http://interoccupy.net/occupysandy/" rel="nofollow">http://interoccupy.net/occupysandy/</a></p> <p>I'd like to find out more about how to help Staten Island and New Jersey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-help-after-hurricane-sandy#post-378967 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:41:48 +0000 Andrea 378967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlecasita1122: very true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-help-after-hurricane-sandy#post-378652 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:52:42 +0000 littlecasita1122 378652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I donated to the Humane Society in Atlantic City, NJ since animals are often forgotten about in natural disasters.

Yes, I've also been reading to differentiate between what's for men, women, and children. I would've never known to do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-help-after-hurricane-sandy#post-378584 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:26:00 +0000 Kcrzn89 378584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am working on supplies with our church to send up there. We are using walmart bags and putting one throw blanket, a small tolietry kit, a cheap can opener, a box of matches or a lighter, A flashlight with one set of batteries, and then we add tampons/pads to some of the bags and mark for woman only on that bag. We also made bags for babies. We put a baby blanket diapers, and wipes in each bag along with a small toy. We marked if it was for a boy/girl and what size diapers was in it. Each bag had a towel in it and 1 wash cloth and pair of work gloves. Never thought about trash bags though. :( They are planning to take it this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-help-after-hurricane-sandy#post-378578 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:20:56 +0000 Andrea 378578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: I'm going to try and find a local group that will organize these types of donations. They will drive the donations straight to these neighborhoods. I usually donate money but I don't live very far from these neighborhoods so I feel like I can do more this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-help-after-hurricane-sandy#post-378572 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:15:21 +0000 sweetooth 378572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I donated to Red Cross, but I would also love to send supplies that would help. Are you sending these items somewhere specific? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-help-after-hurricane-sandy#post-378559 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:06:55 +0000 Andrea 378559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm feeling ashamed that I haven't done anything already, but our family was dealing with our own issues up until last night so I haven't been focused on much else. </p> <p>I've been doing some research and it looks like people really need the below items so I'm going to make a trip to Costco since they sell most of these things. </p> <p>-Work Gloves<br /> -Heavy Duty Garbage Bags<br /> -Flashlights, C and D Batteries<br /> -Sweatshirts and Jackets<br /> -Underwear<br /> -Diapers and Wipes<br /> -Blankets<br /> -Towels<br /> -Tampons<br /> -HOT food</p> <p>How do you like to help people in disaster relief situations? </p>
