In 2012, the state of New Jersey (along with much of the East Coast) took a huge hit from Superstorm Sandy. The large number of homes and businesses affected was heartbreaking. Although it has been two years since the storm hit, there is still much damage that has yet to be fixed.
I have been fortunate enough, on multiple occasions, to be able to help to rebuild some of the damaged homes in New Jersey. I periodically volunteer with the St. Bernard Project, and will continue to do so as long as help is needed. They work in collaboration with AmeriCorps, Sea Bright Rising, and Farmers® Insurance to help rebuild the homes of those affected by Superstorm Sandy.
Volunteering with these wonderful organizations is very rewarding. It feels great to be able to help my community here in New Jersey. As tragic as the storm was for so many people, it is extremely uplifting to see people and organizations banding together and help their neighbors in need.
Are you interested in helping out? Consider donating to the St. Bernard Project or SeaBright Rising. I have included links below to these wonderful organizations that help many people in need.
Also, if you are interested in helping out with reconstruction, or any other projects, please feel free to contact me. I really can’t explain how rewarding an experience it is to help.
