The relief efforts organized by WCNY founder and former GB Cares Chairman Michael Taylor started the Sunday after the storm, November 4, 2012. A tractor trailer of generators, water pumps and supplies were expected to be delivered that afternoon. The delivery was delayed, but by the afternoon the original relief site was full and started to provide supplies to affected residents. Mr. Taylor has 17 years of volunteer experience creating, organizing and running public Annual Events and Activities for the betterment of the community. His support from contacts and resources acquired over the years played a key role in the daily success of the efforts to help others. Victim volunteers provided daily support for months during his time as the Director of the GBC Sandy Relief & Recovery program. According to Mr. Taylor, it was during the first weeks of the daily chaos that an amazingly skilled, caring and dedicated volunteer suggested that he ask each of the
experienced relief workers what we should expect in the next few days, weeks, months and years ahead. This helped him and the incredible talented and dedicated GBC Sandy team prepare, plan and arrange for future needed programs, services and donations that the organization and community will benefit from for the next few years. The warnings and advice given by dozens of relief workers not only shocked him most of it was unbelievable to everyone he told. He credits the success of the efforts to the countless number of supporters, friends, kind hearted strangers and the hundreds of volunteers that put their own homes and lives on hold while giving their time, money and compassion to help others.
