DELPHOS — Due to the catastrophic damage caused by Superstorm Sandy on the East Coast, the Delphos Veterans Council, VFW and American Legion are spearheading a project to bring relief supplies to residents of one of the stricken areas.

In New York City, the Rockaways and the Broad Channel areas of the city have been hit extraordinarily hard. Residents are without power, thus no heat, lights or anything that might be considered close to normal. Thousands have lost their homes and will need to spend time in relief shelters until they can pick up the pieces of their lives. This particular area is expected to be without power for another two to three weeks.
