Thank You! The sudden impact and complete devastation of Hurricane Sandy was felt throughout the Five Towns, Far Rockaway, Bayswater and surrounding communities. Achiezer's crisis intervention team immediately propelled to action, serving as a clearinghouse for the relief effort— coordinating food, shelter, clothing, cleanup crews, shaimos trucks, generators, FEMA applications, funds, Shabbos arrangements, psychological support— providing many suffering families with sorely needed comfort, care and guidance. There is still much to do and we will provide more assistance, as the community continues to recover from this disaster. Without the aid of the many amazing dedicated and selfless groups, organizations and individuals this would not have been possible. Thank you, we applaud you and continue to rely on you.
