The Emergency Sandy Chesed Fund advisory committee, with the support of local Hatzalah groups, Shomrim, Misaskim, Chaveirim, Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, Yad Ephraim and neighborhood Jewish Community Councils, are pleased to announce that significant funds have already been raised and many families in dire need due to the devastation of Hurricane Sandy have already received cash grants.

If you know of any individual or family in serious need of emergency assistance, please contact any of the organizations involved with the Hurricane Sandy Chesed Fund.

We are grateful for the outpouring of support and generosity of those who have already donated and urge others who have not to please help the people who need our help at this time.

The Emergency Sandy Chesed Fund was formed by Councilman David G. Greenfield at a meeting last week in his office to thank the groups for their efforts since the storm hit and to improve coordination between them. All proceeds of the Emergency Sandy Chesed Fund are going directly to victims and victim services.
