Far Rockaway Service Trip Lulu Wein

Hurricane Sandy October, 2012 Hundreds of thousands homes destroyed 73 people killed

Almost 3 years later… Far Rockaway residents are still struggling.

So we headed out to Far Rockaway to help them get back on their feet …

West End Temple We went on a tour of West End Temple, a synagogue in Far Rockaway that had been damaged by the storm.

Heard from Inspiring Speakers Rabbi Marjorie Slome, West End Temple Lloyd Lederman, Far Rockaway resident Philip Goldfeder, Far Rockaway assemblymember Mia Toschi, News reporter + 9/12 Generation Project

Decorating Stars of Hope

Rebuilding Homes We worked to give Far Rockaway residents what Sandy took away from them - comfort and stability in undamaged houses.

Mrs. Beck came to see how her house was coming along.

United Methodist Soup Kitchen A soup kitchen that helped many Far Rockaway residents out during the storm and that continues to do so!

Back to Westchester! Brought the meaningful experiences we had back to Westchester.
