My stepson Joe Bepko and his friends are working valiantly to save homes devastated by flooding in coastal New Jersey. Their efforts are featured in this WABC-TV report. In addition to providing meals they are helping to remove rotted drywall from endangered homes before mold sets in. Even after the relief kitchen closes they will continue to work as long as they can saving people's houses. Money for gas and supplies would be greatly appreciated. Contribute here. Even five dollars would be a huge help.
