Welcome
The volunteers of the WTC Ground Zero Relief effort (a special project of the not-for-profit, Art Science Research Laboratory) have continually, and immediately whenever needed, starting from September 11th and continuing to today November 19th, been bringing items in short supply to workers at Ground Zero and Fresh Kills. The warehouses of OEM, the Red Cross, and the Salvation Army have stopped receiving donations, claiming that no items are needed and that all supplies must, in any case, be delivered through their systems. In fact, we know that crucial items become depleted on a daily basis, and that the official depots often do not have the needed supplies at hand -- including boots, hooded sweatshirts, etc., so sorely needed by firefighters at Ground Zero, and by police raking through debris at Fresh Kills.read more
