Hurricane Sandy Relief, a collaboration between Episcopal Relief & Development and the dioceses of Easton (Maryland), New Jersey and New York, is looking for volunteers to help with ongoing rebuilding efforts. More information is available by contacting the effort’s volunteer coordinator, Elizabeth Heenan, who can answer questions and help groups start planning their trips (609-410-1451 or regvolcoord@episcopalny.org), or visit www.relief.episcopalny.org.
Additionally, those who would like to help with ongoing post-Sandy rebuilding efforts by joining one or more group service trips from the Diocese of Massachusetts that are currently being organized (including, potentially, a youth trip) should contact diocesan Episcopal Relief & Development coordinator Tinka Perry (508-337-3350 or mareliefanddevelopment@gmail.com). She has just returned from an Episcopal Relief & Development conference for diocesan coordinators that was held in New Jersey, and visits the group made to Hurricane Sandy-affected sites, she said, made clear the variety of projects and needs that could be met by volunteers from this diocese.
