Speaker Oliver Continues to Urge Charitable Donations to Help Storm Victims
(TRENTON) – Assembly Speaker Sheila Y. Oliver (D-Essex/Passaic) released the following statement on Wednesday:
"We've all seen the devastation, and now as we move forward, I again ask New Jerseyans to do what they can to help our friends and neighbors hurt by this storm. Some have lost everything, and I know New Jerseyans are ready to open their hearts to help.
"Financial donations can help the Red Cross provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance. To donate, people can visit www.redcross.org, call 1-800-RED-CROSS or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.
"AmeriCares has launched a response to help people affected by the hurricane, starting with deliveries of water, family emergency kits, and other relief supplies. Please visit www.americares.org for more information.
"Feeding America is preparing to provide food, water and other supplies to those affected by Hurricane Sandy. You can visit www.feedingamerica.org or call 800-910-5524.
"The Salvation Army is also working to help victims. You can visit https://donate.salvationarmyusa.org/disaster for more details.
"And of course we all know countless other local relief agencies that can use help as they respond.
We New Jerseyans are known for a lot of things, but let's make sure we're known most for having big hearts and helping our friends and neighbors. This is their most desperate time of need. If you're able, please do what you can to help."
