(Formerly Tutor Time) Ivy League is Reaching Out Thu, Nov 8, 2012 4:43 PM EST View full HTML message Please help us help others by sharing this post: We here at Ivy League Early Learning Academy on Staten Island wish to extend the following services to all victims of Hurricane Sandy on the island. We have heard from our Staten Island community that the families that have been displaced by this tragedy need time to be able to rebuild and take care of personal matters. This is difficult for them to do, when they have young children that they are caring for. Therefor, we are opening our doors on a first come first serve basis to children 6 weeks to 5 years of age. Parents can drop off their children in our center so they can take care of these matters. This service will be provided to all victims Mon- Friday from 10am to 5pm. Also Saturday, November 17th our doors will be open from 10am-4pm for children of all ages. Food will be provided for children ages 12months to 5 years old and donations are being accepted for formula, baby food, diapers, wipes, bottles, sippy cups for our infants aged 6 weeks to 12months. Parents must call first before coming in to secure a spot. Please call Melody or Brittany at 718-982-0202

    After speaking to many donation centers, it seems that we have received an overwhelming amount of clothing. Please hold off on donating more clothing. Neighborhoods, shelters, and donation centers are becoming overwhelmed.

    Thank you everyone for your generosity, but the Hilton Garden Inn on South Ave has no more room for any donations! If you hear of other establishments accepting clothes and other materials, please direct your donations there.

    ***Starting TOMORROW, 11/4, with the generosity of the Borough President and the NY Container Terminal, you can bring your donations to 300 Western Avenue.

    *Please make sure that all donations are clearly marked (i.e. "women's clothes", "baby food" etc.)

    This morning I sent a letter to Governor Cuomo asking for his help in getting a FEMA authorization for Transitional Shelter Assistance (TSA). Once authorized, FEMA can release funds to move those who have lost everything out of shelters and into hotels and motels so that they may have a place to call home and get back on their feet.
