I’d like to give directly to help for Staten Island. Don’t know if there is a way to specify or not. I saw some complaints about the Salvation Army there, too. (maybe people are just being overly sensitive)

People all over begging for help, but not sure what to do. One thing for sure, I cannot be giving any goods to Mitt Romney so he can help. /big ole sarcasm.

http://maps.csc.noaa.gov/hurricanes/# pretty much shows that New Yorkers really aren't used to hurricane strikes ~ but the power will return soon, the water will drain away, the subways will be pumped out, and the little stores all over the city will get new shipments of food.

They are not in danger of starving or freezing to death.

I live on Staten Island. Many of the local Catholic Parishes are collecting supplies and providing relief. We donated some spare essentials today. I am pretty sure that the Parishes could use direct donations to help offset their costs. If Our Lady Help of Christians and Mount Loretto are two that are a big help right now.
