Camden, N.J., Nov 7, 2012 \/ 04:02 am (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- Catholic Charities affiliates are continuing to respond to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy as another storm heads for the region.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWhile the storm has passed, the aftermath continues as thousands are still without power, communities face the risk of floods, and those living on the margins of society struggle to stay afloat,\u201d Catholic Charities USA President Father Larry Snyder told CNA Nov. 6.<\/p>\n

\tKevin Hickey, Executive Director at Catholic Charities of Camden, N.J., echoed Fr. Snyder.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cEver since Sandy hit, it\u2019s been very cold here,\u201d Hickey\u00a0said on\u00a0Nov. 6. \u201cYou can imagine folks without power. There\u2019s some real suffering going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tHe said that New Jersey has made \u201cpretty good strides\u201d in restoring power but \u201chas a ways to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tAnother storm forming in the Gulf of Mexico is expected to pass by New Jersey Nov. 7, bringing high wind, coastal flooding, rain and snow.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWe\u2019re hoping that it blows further out to sea, but I gather that is not going to happen,\u201d Hickey said.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWe\u2019re used to Nor\u2019easters. Clearly, this is a different issue for us given the storm we\u2019ve just been through and the expected tidal surge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tHurricane Sandy\u2019s Oct. 29 landfall killed over 110 people in the U.S. and caused more than $50 billion in damage.<\/p>\n

\tHickey said the storm caused \u201chorrific destruction\u201d in Newark.<\/p>\n

\tCatholic Charities of Camden has opened two disaster aid distribution points on the grounds of Catholic parishes, which have provided over 1,100 people with food, water, water filters and cleaning supplies. However, the agency has decided to close the sites Nov. 7 because the incoming storm threatens to produce high winds and heavy rains.<\/p>\n

\tOutside the Catholic Charities office in Atlantic City on Nov. 5 \u201cthe line was stretched around the block\u201d for people seeking emergency supplies, Hickey reported.<\/p>\n

\tBishop Joseph Galante of Camden has announced that the diocese\u2019s churches will take a second collection this Sunday, Nov. 11, for the Catholic Charities agency. Some of the funds will go towards emergency relief, while a significant amount will go to long-term recovery.<\/p>\n

\tHickey estimated that the Camden agency\u2019s direct emergency relief response will last 7-10 days and consist mainly of distribution of relief supplies in partnership with Catholic Charities USA. Long-term recovery efforts to assist those who have lost their jobs or their homes will last about a year.<\/p>\n

\tHe asked for prayers for all those affected.<\/p>\n

\tIn New York, Catholic Charities is operating emergency shelters and distributing emergency food.<\/p>\n

\tThe national agency has relationships with the Red Cross, Feed the Children and the Salvation Army. Catholic Charities agencies are also partnering with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.<\/p>\n

\tFr. Snyder said that Catholic Charities has \u201can incredible network of service providers across the country\u201d that supports those on living on the margins \u201cevery day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tHe said these agencies are \u201ctrusted in their communities\u201d and understand their populations\u2019 needs, allowing them to quickly assess the situation in times of disaster.<\/p>\n

\tDonations for the relief efforts can be made at the Catholic Charities USA website www.catholiccharitiesusa.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
