Dear Gardeners!
We are organizing our first annual
Toy Drive next Saturday December 11th, in the gazebo, from 1-3pm.
Garden volunteers will be waiting to greet your generosity with winter refreshments, music, and good cheer
Your contributions will go toward the national “Toys for Tots” program, founded and run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve, distributing toys to children whose parents and families can’t afford to buy them gifts for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and other solstice-time celebrations.
If you’d like to donate,
please bring a gift that would make a child or teen happy.
The Toys for Tots distributes presents to all ages of youth, from infancy through adolescence.
New (and non-violent please) toys, games, crafts, science kits, sports equipment, electronic entertainment, stuffed animals and dolls are all welcome.
Please donate unwrapped items that come in their original packaging.
(Multiple gifts very welcome, and there is no price range; all donations are much appreciated, whatever your budget allows.)
Our collection will be kindly transported by Manhattan Mini Storage to their 107th streetlocation, our neighborhood drop off in the Toys for Tots network.
Questions?
Please feel free to contact Raleigh Mayer (rm@raleighmayer.com) 212-678-2041 or Katy Pederson at our Garden Day tomorrow (December 4, 2021).
