Share Needs, Help Out, and Support the LES Post-Sandy!
31 Oct
As the storm subsides, we take a moment to be thankful for our supportive community…
In the spirit of resource sharing, we encourage everyone to consider your capacity and resources at hand, and find ways to help out one another during this time of recuperation.

FAB staff are eager to get back to our office to start providing on-the-ground support to our community. As transportation is limited, we are currently working remotely to ascertain the current state and needs of our community members. We’d appreciate that you email info@fabnyc.org if you have any important information, updates, or needs to share.

We’re also especially grateful to have spent an amazing afternoon, pre-Sandy, noshing our way through the East Village. Thanks to all our who stuck around before the storm to support us.
FYI: FAB will be postponing our biannual Load OUT! event until Sandy sufficiently blows over. Stay tuned for updates next week.
Sending our most warm wishes to you all during this time. Please take care!
