needed hands to unload truck– loads of medical equipment and 40,000 teddy bears. "None of these organizations could have done a fraction of what they did without the help of the volunteers," Toward says. "Any activity you can think of related to the disaster, a signifi– cant portion of it was done by our volunteers." Although Toward rang in the NewYear peeling carrots, chop– ping celery and washing dishes at Nino's, he didn't log nearly as many of his own volunteer hours as he would have liked. In August, his focus changed from giving support through vol– unteers to giving support to vol– unteers, when he took over as executive director of September Space, an organization offering services to volunteers. Because the mental health needs of rescue workers, volun– teers and others involved in a disaster may not surface for a year or longer after the incident, Toward says September Space will be around indefinitely. "On the surface, NewYork is NewYork - the cars honk, the subways are packed, and things appear pretty much as they did before Sept. I I," Toward says. "Most people will tell you they're fine . But if you ask, they'll admit that they don't like going up in tall buildings or cringe when a plane flies overhead. We'll be here to help them when they need us."
