AmeriCares relief workers have been working nonstop since the hurricane, supplying shelters and aid distribution centers with medical aid, family emergency kits, bottled water, blankets, first aid kits, flashlights and cleaning supplies. The humanitarian aid organization has already delivered more than 30 aid shipments for Sandy survivors in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and more deliveries are planned in the coming weeks. AmeriCares is also partnering with World Cares Center to help clean storm debris from damaged homes in the New York area. More than 200 volunteers participated in the launch of “Operation Muck-Out” yesterday in the Rockaways, helping homeowners remove water-damaged drywall, furnishings and appliances from flooded homes.
