Friends of Greenwood Playground has organized a two-day relief effort for people who suffered major losses because of Hurricane Sandy and are being housed in two shelters in Park Slope.
Friends, Tomorrow Friends of Greenwood Playground is holding a relief effort for victims of Sandy from 10 AM TIL 2 PM. We will be at the entrance to the ball field on Ft Hamilton Parkway, close to the F/G entrance. Specifically, we will be collecting supplies for both The Armory, and John Jay High School. Please read what is needed carefully - THANKS!

Here is what is needed:

We will let you know what times we will be collecting on Saturday as well - stay tuned. Thanks all - if you want to come by and sit for an hour, we will also welcome that!

ALSO - Volunteers are needed at both locations - mostly in the evenings. If you can make it over there starting at around 6-8 PM, that is when they need the most help.
