Where to Turn
9/11 resources link on Where To Turn:
Where To Turn, Inc., a newly incorporated New York not-for-profit, had its beginnings shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. It was at this time that it became apparent that many families of victims did not know where to turn to receive the aid they needed. In response, a small group of Staten Island residents began a collaborative effort to help the families. Where to Turn soon became one of the primary New York-based clearinghouses for 9/11-related information. It soon became apparent that the process we had developed could be used to help all victims of tragedy.
In October of 2004 the staff of Where to Turn began to verify and catalogue the various links with which they had been dealing. At launch, the Where to Turn Website contained nearly 300 verified links. Working with our participating organizations as well as our registered members, we hope to make Where to Turn the primary clearinghouse for information for all victims of tragedy.
Where To Turn 1110 South Ave, Staten Island, NY 10314.
