When Superstorm Sandy ravaged our neighborhood and City, the generosity of strangers and neighbors alike demonstrated Grace in the Storm and carried us through unprecedented times. It’s our turn to support those in Texas and Oklahoma devastated by the tornadoes this week.
The Grace in the Storm partner churches will be receiving special offerings each of the next two Sundays to support Somebody Cares America’s (SCA) response to the tornadoes. SCA was the first ministry to provide relief supply trucks to our community within twenty-four hours of Sandy, and connected NY/NJ to many resource partners throughout the Sandy relief effort, including emergency supplies, hot food, winter coats, and cash. They have similarly been on the ground in Texas and Oklahoma since the tornadoes touched down. You can read a field update of their work here: https://somebodycares.org/tornado-relief-oklahoma-and-texas.

Thank you for continuing to model Grace in the Storm.
On Friday, December 21, Grace in the Storm will distribute toys to all 420 students at PS 34 in Manhattan’s Lower East Side from 12-2.
Last weekend’s clothing distribution marks the return of the pop-up relief site that became the largest in Manhattan in the week following Sandy. Organized by a grass-roots network of churches and community groups on Tuesday after the storm, they provided hot meals, water, non-perishable food and other needed supplies to 20,000 people over five days.
