Who will the "neighbor to neighbor" funds help?
We are delighted to announce that funds raised by The Neighbor to Neighbor Project will go to two separate organizations that are helping Sandy victims: The Action Center in Far Rockaway, Queens, and Camp Bulldog in Lindenhurst, Long Island. A long-time community center serving Far Rockaway, The Action Center became a hub providing essentials to storm-ravaged victims of Hurricane Sandy from the moment the flood waters receded. In addition to providing regular programming to serve community members, The Action Center continues to be a lifeline to families and individuals still trying to get their live back in order. Camp Bulldog is an entirely volunteer grass-roots effort that developed in the days after the storm, when several area residents stood on the street corner offering hot soup to their less fortunate neighbors. Now operating out of a heated tent in Shore Road Park (with several containers FULL of donated supplies), Camp Bulldog remains an essential relief and resource center for Sandy victims from Lindenhurst and neighboring villages.

How "neighbor to neighbor" came about...
Click to watch a video of the day that inspired the Neighbor to Neighbor Project.
Two weeks after Hurricane Sandy wrought its devastation, Story Laurie & family (joined by fellow performer Ameila Robinson of Mil's Trills) traveled from the Catskill Mountains to the Rockaways to bring relief to children & their families in the form of music & stories, supplies and home-baked goods from Delaware County. It was clear very quickly that a well-coordinated grass-roots effort (involving both neighborhood people and Occupy Sandy volunteers) was providing a very important lifeline of supplies to the Rockaway area.
Inspired by the many citizen volunteers we met that day, and recalling how our downstate neighbors had come to our region's aid after Hurricane Irene in 2011, we formed the Neighbor to Neighbor Project for Sandy Relief. The Neighbor to Neighbor Project seeks to support similar grass-roots relief efforts through the collaboration of the MARK Project, the project's fiscal sponsor, and the numerous volunteers who have dedicated their time and talents to ensuring that the devastation of our Neighbors in Rockaway and Long Island (where Laurie grew up) are not forgotten.

Spotlight on...our graphic designerYou've probably noticed how utterly gorgeous the graphic design for Neighbor to Neighbor is. Huge props & thanks go to Joseph Williams of The Design District for not only coming up with a beautiful design, but for donating his tremendous talent to Neighbor to Neighbor. Check out his website to see the rather impressive & huge list of clients he's worked for, and to get a sense of his boundless creativity. Thank you Joe, and also to Joe's wife Patti Coyle, who created & contributed artwork to the design!

spotlight on...our videographerAfter Hurricane Sandy hit, Jessica Vecchione of Vecc Videography was on the ground in New Jersey, filming the devastation, covering animal rescues, and providing some impressive footage of the reality of life after the storm. Inspired by the non-stop in-the-trenches action of some friends who were volunteering with Occupy Sandy, Jess contacted Laurie & said, "Let's go do what we can". A week later, the Rockaways trip happened & Neighbor to Neighbor was born. Thank you, Jess, for donating your top-notch documentary-style videography to Neighbor to Neighbor!
