Senator Jack M. Martins (R-7th Senate District) is inviting residents to participate in his annual holiday toy drive.

     Residents and community organizations are invited to donate new, unused toys to the program.  All toys collected will be donated to children in Winthrop University Hospital’s Hagedorn Pediatric Inpatient Center.  Last year’s toy drive collected over 2,000 toys for the children.

     “Every child loves getting a new toy.  For a child in the hospital, it can really lift their spirits when they’re away from home going through a tough time.  Through the continued generosity of the community, we will once again be able to put smiles on the faces of many children,” said Senator Martins.    

     Residents or community groups who would like to participate in Senator Martins’ annual Holiday Toy Drive can call his office at 516-746-5924 or drop toys off at his district office (252 Mineola Boulevard, Mineola).
