Addabbo: 'Help a Local, Stressed Child Have a Merry Christmas'

Senator Requests Donations of New, Unwrapped Toys from November 29 to December 20 at His District Offices

Queens, NY – New York State Senator Joseph Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach), is asking residents of Queens to donate new, unwrapped toys that will be distributed to children in South-Queens neighborhoods.

Many families in the area have lost homes and possessions and have had to deal with stressful situations in past weeks after missing school or being displaced from their homes following Superstorm Sandy.

“Between November 29 and December 20, please drop off only new, unwrapped toys at either of my two district offices: 159-53 102nd Street, Howard Beach, or 66-85 73rd Street, Middle Village, off Metropolitan Avenue,” urged Senator Addabbo.

“Your gift will make a big difference and be a big help for these children so they can remember this holiday season as a happy one, after all the stress and sadness they have endured this autumn.”
