Today marks the one year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy’s arrival in New York City. While most of the [visible damage](/blog/news/sandy-aftermath-neighborhood-damage) here in South Slope has been repaired, many in the harder hit areas around Brooklyn and beyond are still dealing with the devastation left in the superstorm’s wake. If you’re looking for a way to honor those affected by Sandy, we’ve pulled together some of the volunteer opportunities and events taking place around the borough.

[**CBE Feeds**](http://congregationbethelohim.org/cbefeeds?ref=bklyner.com)  
**When:** Ongoing, Monday – Friday  
**Where:** Congregation Beth Elohim, 274 Garfield Place at 8th Avenue  
**What:** CBE Feeds has made and delivered more than 90,000 meals to hungry New Yorkers since Hurricane Sandy. Join them Monday through Friday, 8-11am in the kitchen at Congregation Beth Elohim (274 Garfield Place, 2nd floor) to prep meals, or, if you have a car, drivers are needed at 11:30am daily for delivery to locations such as Gravesend and Red Hook. You can sign up online [here](http://relief.fundingcommunity.com/cbe/jobs/list?ref=bklyner.com). Can’t volunteer? Make a donation to the program [here](https://congregationbethelohim.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=16&ref=bklyner.com).

[**Prospect Park Volunteer Corps**](http://www.prospectpark.org/volunteer/volunteer-events-listing?ref=bklyner.com)  
**When:** Ongoing  
**Where:** Prospect Park  
**What:** The Slope’s very own backyard, Prospect Park, lost a number of beautiful old trees during Hurricane Sandy. If you’d like to give back, the park is always on the lookout for [volunteers](http://www.prospectpark.org/volunteer-application?ref=bklyner.com) to help get the grounds ready for the upcoming winter season. Volunteer days occur weekly, and include occasional special events, such as the [Family Volunteer Corps](http://www.prospectpark.org/volunteer/volunteer-events-listing?ref=bklyner.com) day on November 24\. Keep in mind that, if you’re not a [registered volunteer](http://www.prospectpark.org/volunteer-application?ref=bklyner.com), it can take up to five days to process your registration, so plan ahead.

Candles, lanterns, and flashlights will be lit at 7:45pm, when Sandy made landfall in the city. Please bring your own candle or light source if you can, and hang around afterward to support local businesses in these areas hard-hit by Sandy.
