Pay it Forward Time for Hoboken – Remember SuperStorm Sandy?
Categories: Hoboken Condos
The People of Southern Louisiana Desperately Need Our Help!
When Sandy hit, people from all over the country came to our aid. We live part-time in New Orleans and were there the past two weeks. We just returned to Hoboken last night and felt that we need to get the word out up here. Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas are devastated. People have lost everything. They and their pets are in dire need. We can help!

Help for families living with autism in Louisiana. All money goes to help.
Is there anywhere in Hoboken accepting donations?
Monica,
I tried to organize that but was dissuaded due to the logistics. There are many, many organizations that will accept a monetary donation and you can check to see what amount of the money goes to the actual recipients vs. the organization. My friends in New Orleans suggest that you donate to local charities like NOLA Pay it Forward.
Thank you!!!
