Sleek & Destroy, though based in Brooklyn, has not been overly affected by the hurricane. Some shipping has been delayed, but expect your orders to mostly arrive on time. In the meantime, our hearts go out to those in New York, New Jersey, and the surrounding areas still without power, water, and shelter. In an effort to put his unique talents to good use, Matthew has become involved with #HurricaneHackers: a space for gathering & sharing information, and organizing tech+social projects related to Hurricane Sandy.

If you’re able to help, there are several organizations that you can support or become involved with. Here’s a list of groups working on relief efforts.

American Red Cross:

• @RedCross on twitter
• American Red Cross on Facebook
• American Red Cross for Mobile Phones
• American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Relief and Donations - You can also donate to State and Local Chapters
• Find a Red Cross Shelter
• The Red Cross needs Blood Donations – donate blood in your area now
• You can also donate  by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS  or by texting the word REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10.

Other Organizations:

• The Salvation Army is working to feed people impacted by the storm. Donations can be made there by visiting here.
• Feeding America says that it is working to distribute some thousands of pounds of emergency food to hurricane victims. To donate, you can call 1-800-910-5524 or visit them online here.
• Medicine is also needed, and AmeriCares is working to provide what is needed by those impacted by the storms. Donate here.
• World Vision is distributing flood cleanup kits and personal hygiene items. Donate to them here.
• Save the Children is also out there trying to help relieve families affected by the hurricane. Donate here.
•  Samaritan’s Purse needs volunteers. For information how to volunteer, click here.
• Hope for New York needs both volunteers and donations. 

If you’re in New Jersey and want to volunteer to help clean up, there is more information available here.

Here is another article on How to Help in the Aftermath, as well as another list of helpful organizations that need support.

NonsenseNYC has also collected together a fine list of people and projects that require aid, many that need actual labour, “not your donations or clicks”. Their latest newsletter began with, “The most important thing to understanding what’s going on is to actually go to the areas that need attention. People who need help will not always ask for it, or be able to ask for it. This is a do-it-yourself guide: call or internet if you can, but ultimately just go.”

Here are some of their suggestions:

• Red Hook: Volunteers needed to cook food and coordinate aid. Come anytime from 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. and bring something to share. 767 Hicks Street, Brooklyn.Contact: Paulie Anne Duke, paulieanneduke]at]gmail.com.

They’ll be accepting donations from noon - 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday. They also need people to help with clean up. Coney Island USA, 1208 Surf Avenue, corner of West 12th Street, Brooklyn.

Matthew recently made a striking Oiija Board themed necklace as a personalized gift for Libby Bulloff of Exoskeleton Cabaret. It turned out so handsomely that it’s going to serve as the prototype for a new piece! 

The final design will be smaller than the unique original, but the finished necklace will also feature a laser-cut wooden planchette pendant elegantly framed by helping hands. A conduit from the spirit world to wear over your heart, our Ouija planchettes are a nod to the beginning of the Spiritualism movement of the mid-nineteenth century and a bold statement of personal responsibility.

Matthew really likes the wee little grump faces from the show Game Grumps, so he decided to cut some scrumptious grump key-chains out and send them to the creators. In thanks, they gave Sleek & Destroy a shout-out on their show!

Here they are in their grumpy glory:
