The Silver tapers, aka Brown Cross (because you're covered in Sandy's silt and brown) with Silver Tape (they put duck tape around their arms so you know they're volunteers) are looking for help to demo houses and accomplish the unimaginable in a single day.
Another good friend of mine teamed up with this determined group over the weekend. Droves of SilverTapers showed up to a badly damaged area of Staten Island and they demo'd over 100 homes! Removing furniture, tearing down walls, and having the care to package the dishes or family photos that still remain.
The SilverTapers are a group you can join if you're looking for some heart expanding volunteer work to help those still recovering from Sandy and have a weekend day to spare. Don't forget, as time goes on and those of us fortunate to return to a life reflecting more normalcy and semblance of pre-storm living- thousands upon thousands still need help!
I am told their facebook page is the better resource of the two: www.facebook.com/silver.tapers
