In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, many are still struggling to get back on their feet. Here in New York City, the Rockaways and Staten Island have been hit hard. As the rest of the city begins to pick itself and return to the daily hum of life, those who have made it through are reaching out to those who weren’t so lucky.
Wednesday, November 14th, From Brooklyn with Love presents a Benefit Mixer for Hurricane Sandy Relief Project
Also Wednesday, November 14th, Jimmy’s No. 43 will offer a special Belgian Beer promotion to benefit our friends who suffered damage in the Rockaways.
Thursday, November 15th will mark Vanberg & DeWulf’s 31st Anniversary with the 2nd Annual Coast to Coast Toast which will happen across the country… except NYC’s celebrations will be post-poned until January 15th to allow time for recovery. While the rest of the country toasts the best in Belgian beer, Vanberg & DeWulf is asking beer fans to consider giving to the Red Cross and some participating venues across the country will be donating funds to the relief effort. Tune in to Beer Sessions Radio (TM) tonight (November 13th at 5:00 PM) to hear Wendy Littlefield and Don Feinberg talk about how the beer community is getting behind the relief effort.
Sunday, November 18th, Killmeyer’s Old Bavaria Inn will host a concert to benefit the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s Hurricane Relief Fund. Head out to Staten Island for good music, great beer, raffles and lend your support to the Staten Island Community.
