Hurricane Sandy Update: Volunteer or Find Assistance through 2-1-1 and United Way

Dear Ivan, If Hurricane Sandy reminds us of one thing, it's the awesome power of communities to come together and tackle our greatest challenges. It has been a tough week, but individuals across the Eastern Seaboard and throughout the U.S. have come together, united in their mission to build a community stronger than before. United Way and 2-1-1 are responding to the immediate and long-term needs of individuals and communities. 2-1-1, a public service operated by United Way and its partners in nearly all communities throughout the U.S., connects individuals with the human services organizations that can help address their needs. It also connects volunteers with opportunities to make a difference in response to a natural disaster like Hurricane Sandy. If you, or your loved ones have been impacted by the storm or want to get involved in recovery efforts, dial 2-1-1 for more information. 2-1-1 can help you find information, such as which pharmacies are open, where's the closest shelter, where to find food and water or a local clinic. Beyond emergency situations, 2-1-1 is a 24/7/365 resource to link people to the information they need. United Way stays with communities for the long term, and our recovery efforts will continue. Learn more about how United Way is making a difference after the storm.  Sincerely, United Way This email was sent to ivangamzcraft@gmail.com To unsubscribe, go to http://movement.liveunited.org/unsubscribe
