The Bayshore Family Success Center, a branch of
The Community YMCA, is hosting a Sandy Survivor Resource Fair on Tuesday, June
17, to help families still recovering from Superstorm Sandy.
More than 13 vendors will be available with resources for helping to rebuild and recover from the storm, nearly two years
ago.
The event will take place in Middletown from
5-8 p.m. at the Middletown Public Library, 55 New Monmouth Rd., and include
representatives from government agencies, assistance groups and other
grassroots organizations such as:
180 Turning Lives Around
FoodBank of Monmouth & Ocean Counties
Habitat for Humanity
Monmouth County Long Term Recovery Group
Legal Services of New Jersey
Community Affairs & Resource Center
"The amount of people who still need assistance, almost two years after the
storm is staggering,” said Bayshore Family Success Center Director Darcy
Dobens.
“As an organization dedicated to
strengthening communities, the Center is pleased to assemble resources together in one place to assist families,” she added.
The resource fair is open to all, and registration is recommended but not required.
Children are welcome and light refreshments will be served.
