In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy I am posting opportunities to respond from different organizations that we support here at the church here on the blog. Here is an update from Church World Service.
Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey on Monday. The storm has left a trail of destruction, floods, and power outages for millions of people across the northeast United States. The road to recovery is only just beginning.
CWS's expertise in the U.S. focuses on long-term recovery: helping the most vulnerable prepare for and recover from disaster. CWS is shipping 2,000 CWS Blankets, 3,000 School Kits, 3,000 Hygiene Kits, 300 Clean-up Buckets and 100 Baby Kits for emergency response efforts in New Jersey. And CWS emergency response specialists are working with state, regional and local officials to determine what aid and training is needed and where.
In Cuba, CWS is sending 3,300 CWS Blankets, 9,000 Baby Kits, 1,125 Hygiene Kits and 1,500 School Kits after Hurricane Sandy left a trail of destruction there as well.
