COMEBACK STORY: The New York City Rescue Mission, which lost power during Sandy, quickly bounced back to help serve the hungry and homeless in Lower Manhattan.

The New York City Rescue Mission has a lot to be thankful for post-Sandy.
“It’s a little bit of a hardship to be blocks away from the worst of it,” said Joe Little, the mission’s director of community relations. “But, we were able to sustain some continuity for four or five days while being in the middle of mild-mannered chaos.”
While the mission lost power for four days, they continued to feed hundreds of people, including what Little calls the “perennial homeless” and the “temporarily homeless.”
