Volunteers And Donation Info

Maxanne Resnick has been doing a great job of getting out the info for ongoing volunteer and relief efforts. Here is her latest email.

"If you'd like to volunteer in Shandaken, please mark your weekend calendars, see below. Also, keep in mind there is a free holistic health clinic on Sunday (for the next 3 weekends) from 3-6pm, to help nurture back those affected, or those gallantly volunteering.

I will check with the Methodist Church today to get specifics for donations. On Sunday, they told me non-perishable food. Michael Koegel, Mama's Boy, said they are looking for tea, coffee (instant), formula, sugar and first-aid kits.

And, obviously, money will be enormously helpful. For those residents who lost their homes (at least 23 homes were condemned) they are still probably finding temporary housing, and may not yet have a place to put all of the donations.

Thanks everyone. This community (and many from beyond its borders) has really rallied to help. It is heartwarming in a very sad and heartbreaking time."
