Holiday Toy, Coat and School Supply Drive Launched to Help the Needy

A statewide holiday drive has been launched to benefit families in need across New York. Donations of new unwrapped toys, coats and school supplies are being sought to assist community-based organizations during the holiday giving season.

"New Yorkers have a long and proud tradition of lending a hand and helping those in need," Governor Cuomo said. "As we celebrate with family and friends this year, I encourage New Yorkers to continue this tradition and think of those less fortunate by donating unwrapped toys, coats and school supplies to those in need and help spread holiday cheer."

 The Office of General Services has set up drop-off locations across the state for businesses and individuals to bring the new unwrapped toys, coats and school supplies, which will be distributed to families in underserved communities throughout New York. The drop-off locations will be collecting donations from Monday, November 26 through Friday, December 14.
