There are a lot of worthy causes related to Hurricane Sandy relief, and I have hesitated to promote any one over the others. But then I learned about the need at Trinity Lower East Side. Trinity was the host congregation for my church, St. Lydia\u2019s<\/a>, for much of its first two years of existence, and every week we take a collection for its soup kitchen and food pantry, Trinity\u2019s Services & Food for the Homeless<\/a>, which each day serves 250 hot meals to the homeless and gives out 50 bags of groceries. Trinity is between Avenues B and C in the East Village \u2014 three blocks from my home and into the flood zone \u2014 and when its basement flooded, it lost 75% of its large stock of food supplies for future meals. <\/p>\n

Please consider giving<\/a> even a little to them. I would be very grateful if among my friends and readers we donated $500. No amount is too small. (Well, $5 appears to be the minimum that the online donation system will accept, actually.)<\/p>\n

Donate here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re local and know of their great work, or far from New York and want to help the recovery effort somehow, this is a great way to give directly to a local organization that has an immediate need due to Hurricane Sandy serving my community\u2019s most vulnerable members. <\/p>\n

Please comment to let me know when you give so I have a sense of how we\u2019re doing. Or you can put sandy AT experiential DOT net (you know, change that into a normal email address) in the \u201cNotify someone by email\u201d box when you make your donation, and I\u2019ll get that.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for considering this. If you are giving to another organization that is helping with Sandy Relief, thank you for that. I have been truly heartened by the support, both local and long distance, that we in New York have received. <\/p>\n
