Today, Nov. 4, is drop off day for supplies at Pilgrim Surf 68 N 3rd St., Brooklyn. 12pm – 5pm is ideal.
Tomorrow, Sunday Nov. 5, we will be taking a van with supplies down to Rockaway. We also need able-bodied folks to help out with work — debris removal, clean up, etc. (you can imagine). Wear work boots, bring heavy gloves, and the like. It’s definitely a work site, to say the least. There’s also clean up that needs to be done of interiors, so not all of the labor force has to be burly.
IDEAL DONATION SUPPLIES:
- Coffee
- Hand Sanitizer
- Baby Wipes
- Sugar
- Batteries (especially C and D)
- Condensed Milk
- Toilet Paper
- Dry Ice
- Dish Washing liquid
- Sponges
- Rubber Gloves
- Trash Bags

More details to follow. Please blast to your channels (Twit, Insta, FB, etc.) that we need intel about gas stations coming online in Brooklyn. That will help us figure out how many vehicles we can convoy tomorrow.
Hello. Is there a van leaving from Manhattan on Sunday? I would like to donate supplies and help clean up. If not, do you know how we can get to the surf shop? It’s looks like the 4 and 5 trains are running to Borough Hall in Bklyn. Maybe folks from the city could meet there for a pick up to Rockaway? I am at 917.388.0853. lets me know how I can help.
Warm regards,
Catherine Johns
I’m in Manhattan and would like to help. Can you provide any further details about volunteering tomorrow?
I would love to volunteer to help with clean up. I live in Williamsburg without a car, so can you send me any information on groups heading down with the meet-up locations?
Thanks!
