Want to help folks affected by Hurricane Sandy? Provide a trade or skill or make a connection for someone affected by the storm?

People in the Tri-state area are still reeling from the storm.

Many remain without power, lights, heat and are struggling to find gasoline for their cars and generators.

Patch wants to help.

We are providing a forum where residents can donate to others to help them through the aftermath of the storm.

Do you have a skill or work in a trade where you would be willing to help out someone who needs a friend or neighbor right about now?

If you’ve lost possessions in the storm, this forum may be able to help you.

Do you have an item to donate? Is there an item you need?

You can use this forum to connect with others who may be able to help you with your post-storm needs.

This is not about selling items or donating cash. This is about connecting people with goods or services they may need.

Please use your email, not your personal phone number.

And good luck! We hope things will be better soon.
