Sandy: How You Can Help
Sandy's Impact
Super-storm Sandy is currently on pace to become one of the most costly storms of all time with many communities across the Eastern United States impacted by record floods, strong winds, and deep snows. The historic storm surge along the Mid-Atlantic Coast destroyed many landmarks, but also many homes. In an effort to help those facing the destruction brought by the storm, including some that are a part of the greater Lehigh family, the Community Service Office has compiled a list of different agencies collecting funds to help those impacted by this powerful storm. We know this is only the first step in a full recovery, but it is only by taking one step at a time that normalcy finally returns. We hope you take a second and help one of the agencies listed below. Those in need will forever be thankful for your donation.
Please note, at this time, financial donations are the best way to make a difference in the area impacted by the storm.
