I know that I can donate money, I already have, but I want to do more.
Is anyone aware of a group I can get in touch with that needs supplies for people?
I would love to be able to start a collection and send or deliver things to the CT Shore or NJ or NY.
Just feeling like I need to do more!

Also the WNYC website has a list of volunteer opportunities.
Anyone who missed the NBC benefit tonight can still help by donating to the American Red Cross. I just donated through iTunes... it took about 10 seconds.
