AS MANY OF US HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN, SUNSET PARKERS ARE AN OUTSTANDING SORT WHETHER WE HAVE A LITTLE OR WE HAVE A LOT. GRATEFUL THAT BOTH THE PARK + THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAD FARED EXTREMELY WELL THROUGH THE STORM, WE TURNED OUR SIGHTS ON OUR LESS FORTUNATE NEIGHBORS:
-WE CLOCKED IN 12-HOUR SHIFTS AT THE PARK SLOPE ARMORY "SPECIAL NEEDS SHELTER ON 15TH STREET (7/8TH AVES).
-WE HAVE ORGANIZED NEIGHBOR-TO-NEIGHBOR DRIVES COLLECTING CLOTHES, BLANKETS, SOCKS, COATS, DIAPERS, TOILETRIES, PET SUPPLIES, WATER, ETC. TO BENEFIT OUR NEIGHBORS IN STATEN ISLAND, RED HOOK, CONEY ISLAND + THE ROCKAWAYS. BY THE WAY, DONATIONS WILL CONTINUE TO BE ACCEPTED TOMORROW MORNING, SUNDAY, IN FRONT OF KEY FOOD (5TH AVENUE/44TH STREET) AFTER 10AM. YOU CAN ALSO GO TO https://redhook.recovers.org/ FOR WAYS YOU CAN ASSIST IN THE HOOK.
-MANY OF OUR BODEGAS + EATERIES REMAINED OPEN THROUGHOUT THE STORM. GOTTA LOVE THE MOM + POPS.
AND ON AND ON....
IF YOU KNOW OF ANY LOCAL HEROES/HEROINES THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD SHOULD KNOW ABOUT, LET US KNOW + WE'LL DO A WELL-DESERVED SHOUT OUT.
AND, WHILE WE'RE SUPPORTING OUR NEIGHBORS AROUND NYC, LET'S NOT FORGET THOSE IN OUR BUILDINGS OR DOWN THE STREET. THESE ARE SCARY MOMENTS, AND WHILE WE MAY HAVE FOOD, LIGHTS + CLOTHING, A LITTLE COMPANY MIGHT BE JUST WHAT'S NEEDED TO HELP US MOVE ON.
