HeartShare toy drive generates truck load of donations
Organization also seeking gifts for adults
Brooklyn residents looking to make the Christmas season brighter for children from low-income families now have a place to display their generosity. HeartShare Human Services of New York, the nonprofit agency that helps the needy and the developmentally disabled, is conducting its annual Toy and Gift Drive.
HeartShare started picking up donations on Dec.12, but officials said there is still time to make a contribution.
“We are fortunate to have the ongoing support of community organizations and individuals, who give an extraordinary number of gifts each year. However, the need always is great,” said Danielle Maurice, HeartShare’s director of special events.
