Message from Occupy Sandy

Sat, 01 Dec 2012 13:22:37 -0500

Occupy Sandy volunteer,

Today, our hard-working responders out in Staten Island got word from the Mayor’s Office that all outdoor and sidewalk relief efforts must shut down immediately. They also learned that sidewalk pop-up free mutual aid stations like the ones we’ve set up across the city will be considered “vendors” and shut down as well.

We’ve seen in the last month how amazing a people-powered recovery can be, so let’s not let bureaucracy shut it down!

TAKE ACTION: Demand the Mayor’s office end community hub eviction and instead support this crisis with space, housing, medical care and equipment

CALL: Public Advocate’s office: (212) 669-7250 9am-5pm

EMAIL: GetHelp@pubadvocate.nyc.gov

TWEET:

.@NYCMayorsOffice: Don’t suppress @OccupySandy, SUPPORT it & help us rebuild #NYC together!

Tell the city to stop shutting down much-needed Sandy community hubs Location: 489 Midland Ave Staten Island, NY 10306 CONTACT: 347-755-1025 Aiman Youssef, community hub coordinator

HOT MEAL DELIVERY RELIEF @ GREENPOINT SOUP KITCHEN!!!

Thu, 15 Nov 2012 17:29:17 -0500

Ann is coordinating hot meal delivery for Sandy Relief in connection with the Greenpoint Soup Kitchen & Hunger Program & CM Levin’s office. The Greenpoint Soup Kitchen typically serves one hot meal to 100 people and gives out 400 bags in an average week. Right now they are making crazy amounts of donation boxes (of non-perishable foods) and making meals for 250 per day (M-Th). In her words —there is no end to the amount of hot food they need in the affected areas.

Main Greenpoint Kitchen — 136 Milton St @ Greenpoint Reformed Church. Volunteer kitchen work is running 11-3pm Mon - Thurs (and maybe on Saturdays & Sundays).

Ann has a master list of places where you can drop off hot food to be distributed. She will be making daily deliverise of hot food (M-TH) to Occupy Sandy headquarters @ 520 Clinton. They they send it out to whatever site needs food that night. She will be leaving Greenpoint at 1pm and is willing to pick up hot food donations on her way. There is a big meat delivery coming from the food bank and she will need help cooking up that meat.

Donations:

Need butter & oil

Take-out containers (This is to get hot food to those stuck in their apartments — mostly seniors.)

Contact ann if you want to help with some hot food direct action.
