Creating Art for the Cause

On March 21st, the R&R crew took a little field trip off the Rockaway peninsula and into the downtown art scene. There were no Tyvek suits and no respirators to be seen. What was the occasion you ask? Well, to celebrate their new collaboration, Daryl K and Steven Alanhosted a pre-launch party at Steven Alan’s Chelsea Annex, complete with Carlos “Mare139” Rodriguez and Jimmy Raskin hand-painting 2 pairs of vintage Daryl K jeans. The jeans are being auctioned off on Ebay RIGHT NOW and there are only 2 days left to make them yours. Oh, and 100% of the proceeds will help support our work in Rockaway. Did we mention that? So, we think these look pretty great, and we...

Meet the People who Make the Magic Happen!

It might be hard to believe, but there are people out there who think we’re a little bit crazy to be as obsessed with mold as we are. I’ll admit it might be a little weird to nickname the different types of mold you come across in different homes, or that certain members of our team who shall go unnamed (Hint: Mustache) are able to identify the homes of people we work with by looking at photos of spores. But hey, it’s all in a day’s work. What’s even crazier is all the amazing people we meet who slave away all week long and STILL want to spend their days off in Tyvek suits with ghostbuster mold vacs, busting their...

National Volunteer Week and the Six Month Sandy Anniversary

In honor of National Volunteer Week and the six month Sandy-versary we wanted to interview one of our amazing volunteers to see what it is that inspires him to keep up the good work after all this time, and what others are thinking about the state of the recovery efforts. When we started poking around for an interview, since our new friend Ravin Shah is around almost every weekend as a dedicated team leader, he was an easy target! When Sandy hit, Ravin was in his hometown of Edison, NJ, where he volunteers with Edison’s First Aid Squad and the NJ EMS Task Force. He was on call for whatever might happen during the storm. As it turned out, he...

Check out what we’ve been able to accomplish, thanks to YOU!!!

REPORT BACK TIME! We know we can get pretty wrapped up in our work, but we decided it was time to step back and look at where’ve we’ve been so we can figure out where we’re headed next. Our awesome volunteer and team leader Myriam Wiesenfeld recently sat down and used her artistry skills to distill a file cabinet’s worth of data about what we do into this easy to read, pretty to look at graphic that explains how we’ve put our resources to work. It’s pretty cool, if we do say so ourselves. And really YOU are to thank! The vast, vast majority of our funding has come from grassroots supporters like you, and almost all of the work...

R&R Brings Mold Help to Central New York

Even those of us who keep an eye peeled for news of natural disasters may have missed the recent flooding in Central New York’s Herkimer. Oneida, and Otsego Counties. If you missed it, too, you can read about the storm’s initial impact here and here. Thanks to the help of our amazing volunteer Sarah VanDenbergh, a native of the recently devastated region, R&R was able to travel to Oneida and Herkimer Counties to help flood-affected residents grapple with an impending mold epidemic. First, Sarah arrived on the scene, connected with locally-run volunteer groups, and assessed the damage. Once again, we found ourselves working against the clock to dispel myths about what works and what doesn’t when fighting mold growth, and...

Thanks for Your Amazing Work

It’s hard to believe that we moved out of our office at Arverne Pilgrim Church six months ago, and that our work in Rockaway is almost complete. We had a good run. We worked in over 430 homes, and helped to rebuild 30. We worked alongside almost 2000 volunteers, and worked with individuals and groups from as far away as Alaska, as well as Rockaway locals. Now, as we wrap up the last of our work, it’s time, yet again, to say thanks. We want to thank everyone who has worked for recovery in the Rockaways, and those who continue to do so. A special thanks goes out to Pastor Dennis Loncke and his family, who quite literally took us...
