Over at Dumb Looks Still Free, A Jacksonian has up a list of reputable charities that are helping with Sandy recovery efforts. In making the list, a number of blogs were contacted and I'm disappointed though not surprised at the lack of response. There are posts aplenty in looking at what happened and the aftermath, but where the focus needs to be right now is helping those who need it most. My own preferences are Team Rubicon, New York City Firefighter Brotherhood Foundation, and Tunnel to Towers. All three have been boots on the ground from almost the minute the winds first began to subside. Take a look at the list, research those that interest you, and do what you can. Meantime, I'm stealing the list (with permission) and posting it here. Given by Alphabetical order. American Red Cross Catholic Charities USA Christian Disaster Response Christian Reformed Church – World Renew Church World Service Convoy of Hope Direct Relief International Feeding America Lutheran Church Charities Mennonite Disaster Service Mercury One Nazarene Disaster Response New York City Firefighter Brotherhood Foundation (FB Page) North American Mission Board Operation Blessing Our Lady Help of Christians – Staten Island (FB Page) Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Salvation Army Team Rubicon (FB Page) Tunnels to Towers (FB Page) United Methodist Committee on Relief LW
