NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - Hurricane relief wasnt the original goal for a foundation founded in the wake of 9/11.

But just as things changed on 9/11, life shifted gears once again last October for Frank Siller, chairman of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which was created to honor the fallen 9/11 firefighter, when superstorm Sandy hit.

As soon as Sandy hit, we knew what we had to do, Frank Siller told WCBS 880s Jim Smith.

Immediately, the foundation joined the relief effort, and that continues to this day.

Weve had 10,000 volunteers, 10,000 volunteers that come through our doors since Sandy hit, he said. We have given out over $10 worth of food and supplies.

That has gone from basic necessities to, now, six month later, construction assistance.

A different type of supplies, but right now its full of sheet rock and insulation because thats the next stage, he said.

The foundation is now capable of mold remediation in ten homes a day. the latest hurdle, Siller says in a long road to recovery.
