Statement from Assemblywoman Addie Russell on assisting the victims of Hurricane Sandy

New York City, Long Island, and surrounding communities were devastated by Hurricane Sandy, which destroyed homes, displaced families, and knocked power out to nearly 2 million people.  During this time of great need, we in the North Country can best help our fellow New Yorkers by making a monetary donation to the American Red Cross. 

Red Cross relief efforts are right now providing food, shelter, emotional support and other assistance to those affected by Hurricane Sandy. To make a donation, visit www.redcross.org,  call 1-800-RED-CROSS, or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 contribution to their cause.  The Red Cross is the most effective and efficient way to help our friends and relatives who live in the effected areas and I urge our North Country community to help.
