Ward http://blog.newyorkcares.org/?p=5269&cpage=1#comment-86089 Ray W. Ward Tue, 07 May 2013 21:31:46 +0000 http://blog.newyorkcares.org/?p=5269#comment-86089 The best part of the day was meeting the garden’s owner, Lori. Her story was heartwarming. Her father had owned the land and, after retiring, had started a garden with the help of some neighborhood children. He tended to it for years. When he got older and had trouble keeping up, he bestowed the garden upon his daughters, who care for it to this day. Seeing how grateful Lori was made the hard work well worth it. She told us that a group of New York Cares volunteers visits William Harris Garden throughout the summer, and I only hope I get the chance to go back.

She died about 6 weeks ago and I have been cleaning out her house. I have 10 contractor bags of her clothes, which either are cleaned or have never been worn -- the price tags are still on some of the clothes. I would like to donate these clothes to a charity. So far, the Vietname Veterans Charity doesn't go to Rockaway Beach. I have been on the phone for hours trying to get through to the Salvation Army. Other local charities seem to have not opened as yet. Can you help me?
