in 35 families throughout the Bronx

“’Operation Realtors Kids’ Toy
Drive, now in its tenth year, began
right after Thanksgiving. While it
was off to a slow start, by December
22, gifts and donations began to pour
in. In total, more than $1,200 was collected
for purchasing additional toys
and gift wrapping. “It was a ‘Miracle
on Williamsbridge Road,’” said Eli Rodriguez,

Connect, donated a carload of
gifts including coats, sneakers, boots
and many toys.

REALTORS Kids” Toy Drive benefi tted 80
