Ways to help the people on the East Coast suffering losses due to Superstorm Sandy...

We have a lot of friends and family all along the East Coast. They were lucky to only have suffered a loss of power, downed trees and flooding. Many other people suffered much greater losses including their homes, cars, belongings and even more sadly, loved ones. Please consider donating items, cash or time to one of the charities listed below and on the linked site. Thank you.

Cool Mom Picks has put together a pretty good list of ways (with links) to help the people devastated by Superstorm Sandy - See link below.

And if you want to specifically help moms and children:

" Baby Buggy  ... No doubt in the coming weeks they will be extra swamped for requests for diapers and other essential supplies. You can donate goods if you're local, ship to them from 1-800-diapers, or make a cash donation.

EDITED TO ADD: Their immediate needs are warm coats for children. Sizes 0-5 are ideal, but they'll take up to size 14. You can ship them to Baby Buggy, 306 W 37th St 8 fl NY, NY 10018. Include your return address and they'll send you a receipt.

Similarly, Rock Center is accepting gift cards from Babies R Us and Target for families. They can be sent to Rock Center with Brian Williams, 30 Rockerfeller Plaza #412E, NY, NY 101112. The link also has other great charity resources. "
