We are trying to help Rockaway as much as possible, but we currently don’t personally take financial donations.
However, the following sites have been raising money for various locations in the Rockaways, so you can send money there:
Rockaway WISH (Women Inspired to Support & Help) is a local Rockaway foundation established in 2006. Our members are born & bred Rockawayites. Our Mission, post Hurricane Sandy, is to provide monetary relief for victims during the recovery and rebuild phases of this disaster.
Rockaway Youth Task Force, been involved in Far Rockaway for a long time
In Good Company Hospitality Group (Rockaway, Breezy, Broad Channel, run by a hospitality group w/ restaurants around the city & Rockaway)
