Volunteering Resource

Why hasn't anyone created a resource for people in Manhattan to identify opportunities to volunteer??? Lots of sites are saying the best way to give in through donations. If that is something you are interested it, go to Red Cross and give a monetary contribution directly:

Red Hook Initiative has a twitter feed that people can report to posting volunteering needs.

Red Hook needs money directly too, so if you're interested in that, donate directly to them. They are set on man power and now need money to continue providing prepared food, candles, cooking utensils, water, flashlights, batteries and more to hurricane victims.

Thanks to Jean Marie Youngstrom for forwarding this information as well. I will see if this school in Washington Heights needs help when the subways are up and running and I can get to and from school.
"Storm victims from other parts of the city are arriving in droves to a shelter in Washington Heights. They need volunteers and all manner of supplies. 
Ahead of classes resuming on Monday the City is consolidating shelters, and George Washington High School will become one of the few remaining schools housing storm victims. I was at GW last night and learned that the current population of 16

0 adults and children will be swelling to 600-700 tonight.
The GW shelter is in need of volunteers at all hours, including overnight. They are also accepting donations of food and water, preferably in single-serve portions (easier to distribute).
If you can provide any form of help, please stop by the school, at 549 Audubon Ave. @ 193rd St."
