New Yorkers helping neighbors after Sandy

Volunteers from the non-profit Red Hook Initiative hand out clothing on Nov. 3, 2012, in the Brooklyn borough of New York. With cold weather settling in across the New York metropolitan area - compounding the misery for people already struggling with widespread gasoline shortages and power outages in the wake of superstorm Sandy - many New Yorkers from storm-affected areas are seeking out opportunities to help in ways big and small.
