Spread The Cheer! Here’s Where To Donate This Holiday Season
It’s the time of year where we show each other how much we care for them. It’s also a time to give to those who are in need because this time of year can be a stressful one for those who struggle to buy gifts for their loved ones. Here is a list of great places to donate during this holiday season:
41st Assembly District Democrats Club Toys for Tots
The Democrats Club is organizing a massive toy drive to help kids enjoy the festivities of the holidays this year. There are two major events you can go to with toys to donate, and there are also many drop-off locations. You can also donate financially so the group can buy toys to give.
