On behalf of everyone at The Gem Project, we offer our condolences and support to those in need as we work together to rebuild our lives as a nation. The devastation caused by  Hurricane Sandy has left millions without power, food, and shelter.

Organizations, individuals, and companies are pulling together in record numbers to assist those in need. We have compiled a list of resources for you. You may forward to those in need or share the web version here.

Resources include:

Shelter Listings, Food (Soup Kitchen Listings), Open Gas Station sites, Pharmacies, Free Laundry sites, and listing of School Closings.

If you can contribute to the RED CROSS, please visit them here.

Well Wishes,

The Gem Project Team
