Annual holiday toy drive begins at Borough Hall
BY BILL PARRY
The annual holiday toy drive at
Queens Borough Hall for children in
need is underway from now through
Wednesday, Dec. 18.
Queens residents are encouraged
to donate new, unwrapped toys for
children of all ages.
Donations dropped off at Queens
Borough Hall are anonymous and are
not tax-deductible. At the conclusion
of the drive, the donated items will be
distributed by the Battalion Pentecostal
Assembly Church in Far Rockaway
and St. Mary’s Healthcare System for
Children in Bayside to children in
need across Queens.
“The holiday season is a time to rejoice
with our families and give thanks
for the blessings in our lives,” Queens
Borough President Melinda Katz said.
“In the spirit of giving, please consider
donating to make sure children across
the borough will share in the joy the
holidays bring.”
Anyone interested in donating can
do so by placing their item into the
Holiday Toy Drive box in the lobby
of Queens Borough Hall, located at
12-55 Queens Blvd. in Kew Gardens.
Borough Hall can be reached by mass
transit by taking the E or F subway
lines to the Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike
station.
