Today, we're writing to inspire you to give to one of the most beautiful and effective organizations we have ever seen. Let us tell you who and why.
Three years ago, you remember, Hurricane Sandy devastated the Rockaways, a peninsula in south Queens, right near JFK. One organization, the Action Center, did as much as any national organization to help folks. They saved people's lives with food, water and shelter.
But the truth is, Sandy is not the real disaster. Poverty is the real disaster. Three years later, the Action Center continues to lift people up. They are a one-stop-shop for people’s needs, providing not just food and clothes, but dozens of education and empowerment programs for kids and adults. Whatever people need to get on their feet. And out of poverty.
They also provide dancing, joy, smiles and love.

On the three year anniversary of Sandy, we ask you to find it in your heart to make a donation to the Action Center -- and to ask your friends and family to do so too. They need your help to keep operating and to expand to cover all of the Rockaways. So that no child goes hungry in the shadow of NYC.
