Hurricane Sandy Recovery Update
Since March 2013, we have completed 115 Sandy Service projects. Although Hurricane Sandy stormed through our city nearly one year ago, recovery efforts are still needed. In September, we worked along with groups such as Monroe College, Manhattanville College, and even the New York Redbulls, as pictured above, to provide relief to community centers, gardens and parks. Visit nyc.gov/service to learn more about our Hurricane Sandy Initiative and how you can help.
