Check out this amazing video produced by RestoreRedHook.org. It beautifully explains what makes Red Hook special and how much damage the small-business owners suffered. It made me cry with love and appreciation over how remarkable our town is. There just aren’t words.

To help, consider giving to the local business community, most of whom are Red Hook Flicks sponsors. Here’s a list of donation sites.

– Rebuild Sunny’s

– Rebuild Home/Made

— Rebuild Steve’s Authentic Key Lime

– Rebuild the Bait & Tackle

– Rebuild the Good Fork

– Rebuild Fort Defiance

– Rebuild the Red Hook Lobster Pound

– Rebuild Metal & Thread

– Rebuild Added Value, our urban farm

– Donate to Restore Red Hook, the local business fund that they all created together

Rebuild Red Hook

10 Nov

Dear Red Hook Flicks supporters:

For the past three seasons, the local businesses of Red Hook have generously given their time and money to make our film series happen. We’ve had a magical time.

Now they need our help.

Most of our sponsors were flooded during Sandy and are having to rebuild from scratch. No power, no heat. Refrigerators gone. Everything destroyed. It’s going to be expensive and they can’t count on insurance.  (Here’s why.)

So please think about donating to the various fundraising campaigns to rebuild our neighborhood and our vibrant local businesses, which are the heart and soul of Red Hook.

— Rebuild the Bait & Tackle

— Rebuild the Good Fork

— Rebuild Fort Defiance

— Rebuild the Red Hook Lobster Pound

— Rebuild Metal & Thread

— Donate Restore Red Hook, the local business fund that they all created together

Thank you.

Amy + The Red Hook Flicks volunteer team
