Thank you, from National Grid

John Mitty Monday, November 26, 2012

As both a service provider and a member of the community, National Grid is passionate about restoring service as quickly and as safely as possible. Superstorm Sandy was one of the worst storms to hit our region and we could not have battled this storm without your help and support.

 
Thanks to our first responders, government leaders, relief agencies and our community partners for all they have done to help provide assistance to those who are victims of Sandy's wrath. Thanks, too, to our customers for their patience during this incredibly challenging time. Your resilience is inspiring.
 
If you continue to require assistance from National Grid, please visit our Rebuilding After Sandy page for more information on how you can receive assistance.
 
If you are interested in helping or donating to Superstorm Sandy victims, please see below for a list of charities actively helping in the effort:
 
How to help Superstorm Sandy victims

• Red Cross: To donate, visit www.redcross.org, call 800-Red-Cross or text the word "Redcross" to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Nearly 100 Red Cross blood drives were canceled because of Sandy, so blood supplies are low in the areas affected the most. The Red Cross asks that those who can donate to schedule an appointment to give blood. The New York Blood Center is urging people to donate blood for those in the New York/New Jersey area. To donate, call 800-933-2566 or visit www.nybloodcenter.org.
• The Salvation Army has dozens of mobile feeding units and shelters along the East Coast that are working to serve thousands in the most heavily hit areas. Visit www.salvationarmyusa.org to donate.
• Feeding America has thousands of pounds of emergency food, water and supplies in the disaster zone that it is working to distribute to the storm's victims. To donate, visit www.feedingamerica.org or call 800-910-5524.
• AmeriCares is providing medicine and other supplies to people affected by Hurricane Sandy. To donate, visit www.americares.org.
• World Vision is distributing flood clean-up kits, personal hygiene items and emergency food kits to people hit by the hurricane. To donate, visit www.worldvision.org.
• Save the Children is also working to provide relief to families and their children. Visit www.savethechildren.org to donate.  

We are committed to making sure every last customer has their services restored, and we will remain in these communities to see it through to completion.

We wish you and your family a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
