The Community YMCA, is hosting a Sandy Survivor Resource Fair on Tuesday, June

resources for helping to rebuild and recover from the storm, nearly two years
ago.
The event will take place in Middletown from
5-8 p.m. at the Middletown Public Library, 55 New Monmouth Rd., and include
representatives from government agencies, assistance groups and other
grassroots organizations such as:
>
180 Turning Lives Around
>
FoodBank of Monmouth & Ocean Counties
>
Habitat for Humanity
>
Monmouth County Long Term Recovery Group
>
Legal Services of New Jersey
>
Community Affairs & Resource Center
“The amount of people who still need assistance, almost two years after the
storm is staggering,” said Bayshore Family Success Center Director Darcy
Dobens. “As an organization dedicated to
strengthening communities, the Center is pleased to assemble resources together
in one place to assist families,” she added.
The resource fair is open to all, and
registration is recommended but not required.
Children are welcome and light refreshments will be served.
