Brighten A Child’s Holiday With A Donation To Toys For Tots

The annual Toys for Tots drive is currently underway, and there are a lot of local drop-off locations where you can donate a toy, helping to ensure that so many Brooklyn children have a bright holiday.

The Park Slope Civic Council has once again organized the event, working with Park Slope Parents to make this the biggest drive yet — last year, they collected more than 2,000 toys, and we’re sure our neighbors can beat that amazing generosity this year.

You can bring a new, or very gently used, unwrapped gift for children up to age 12 to one of more than 30 locations around the Slope and Gowanus — local spots include the Armory YMCA on 15th Street, Goldy + Mac at 396 7th Avenue, and South Slope Pediatrics at 501 5th Avenue. You can see all the locations on the map above, or listed here.

The drive continues through Tuesday, January 6, so while you’re out doing your own holiday shopping, if you can, grab something extra and help make the holiday a happy one for a local child in need.
