 Relief trip from St. James, Barrington, R.I. Jim Feeney of St. James in Barrington, R.I. organized a relief trip to Rockaway Beach New York for those dealing with losses from super storm Sandy. A van was filled with donations from friends and church members and delivered on Monday November 12th to New York.
"Rockaway Beach ... sand still in the streets, buildings on the beach side destroyed. Marines helping out and work to rebuild just getting started. People were *extremely* grateful."
