Recession Survival Fair

I don't know who took this shot originally, but I discovered it on New York Blog Academy from their post "Recession Breeds New Bloggers"

Queens resident, Norm Elrod, who writes the blog Jobless and Less about his struggles with unemployment, is helping out at this Bed-Stuy event for all New Yorkers in need which takes place this weekend:

The Recession Survival Fair will be a non-partisan community service event to assist Brooklyn and New York City residents in tackling the challenges springing from the economic recession. Attendees will have free access to important information and professional help on a range of relevant topics, including healthcare, food and nutrition, job search, debt and personal finance, and tenants’ rights and foreclosure. DKMS, the world's largest bone marrow donor center, will also be conducting a drive for potential donor matches. All help will be provided free of charge, although participants will also be invited to offer their own expertise to the community in exchange.
