Where to Go for Help After Sandy

Following Hurricane Sandy, many people are still without power in Montgomery County, and are in need to someplace to go for help. 

Most of them need some temporary assistance - a place to get a hot shower, maybe a hot meal, or just to stay a little while someplace that has heat. 

We are collecting information to try and help our neighbors out.
