Edison Housing Authority To Host 2023 Toy Drive For Local Families

EDISON, NJ — As the festive season approaches, the Edison Housing Authority (EHA) is gearing to provide a fun holiday for local families living in the Robert Holmes Gardens and Julius C. Engel Gardens public housing communities.

For more than 20 years, the EHA has organized an annual toy drive so children in need within the community can have a magical holiday experience.

And this year too, they plan to do the same. This year’s toy drive collection begins on Friday, Dec. 1, and continues through Tuesday, December 12.

Area businesses, organizations, and residents are invited to participate by donating new, unwrapped toys for boys and girls, ages 3 to 13.

Toys may be dropped off at the administrative office located at The Edison Housing Authority, 14 Rev. Samuel Carpenter Boulevard, Edison, from Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The toys will be distributed to children living within the EHA communities in December.

The annual holiday toy drive is just one of numerous programs held throughout the year by the EHA. They also host programs and workshops geared toward assisting them to thrive, become financially self-sufficient, and achieve their goals.
