Hurricane Sandy is the worst storm ever to strike the Eastern Seaboard in recorded history. The high winds and widespread flooding may have subsided, but in many areas, people are still struggling to regain some sense of normalcy and simply process the devastation. This is not a guess on my part. I am seeing and hearing it - from the nonprofits I work with every day to friends living on the East Coast.

If you haven't had a chance yet, please consider volunteering to help with relief efforts or if you are not in the area, consider a financial contribution.

Some highly credible organizations that I personally recommend:

American Red Cross
Direct Relief International
Feeding America
Miriam's Kitchen
