Local Red Cross volunteer Marv Goodman is working on something new here in New Jersey in response to Superstorm Sandy. Marv is reaching out to faith-based organizations and places of worship across the state to work together with Red Cross to serve populations that might otherwise not receive available Red Cross assistance. New Jersey has traditionally been spared from major disasters, but that also means that local underserved populations haven’t previously been identified and reached by Red Cross disaster services. These residents are sometimes immigrants or populations separated by linguistic and cultural barriers.
