Thanks to our 1,000 Sandy volunteers!

We're excited to announce that over 1,000 Met Council volunteers have helped with Sandy recovery projects since February 2013! We'd like to extend an enormous thank you to everyone who has pitched in to clean up, canvass, assess needs, distribute food, muck out, remove mold, garden, paint, rebuild, and reach out to recovering communities across NYC.

Volunteers from Hugo Boss lay ground cover

to prepare for raised garden beds

We passed the 1,000 mark yesterday with the help of a fantastic group from Nordstrom/Hugo Boss. Many thanks to these enthusiastic volunteers for cheerfully cleaning up sand and debris, mowing/removing weeds, and preparing raised beds for a community garden in Far Rockaway, Queens.

Another team unrolls fabric to line the new garden beds
