Red Cross Donations at Work Feeding Families Affected by Sandy

LONG ISLAND NY (June 19,2013)–The American Red Cross continues to help people affected by Sandy every day by partnering with local organizations through grant awards. Island Harvest, a food bank for Long Island, is one such partner organization.

The Red Cross awarded Island Harvest a multi-million dollar grant to provide more than roughly three million meals to people recovering from Sandy.

Sabrina, an Island Harvest site assessor, was working at a community event at the East Rockaway Recreation Center distributing food to Sandy affected residents when she met Jim, a Long Island resident.
