Lawmaker From Glen Cove Delivers Toys To Day Care Ravaged By Ida

GLEN COVE, NY — Christmas came early for kids at the Glen Cove Child Day Care Center.

On Dec. 20, New York State Assemblymember Charles Lavine (D-Glen Cove) delivered toys collected during his holiday toy drive to the daycare center, which was severely damaged by flooding associated with the remnants of Hurrican Ida.

"I am so pleased to have brought a little joy to the adorable kids at the Glen Cove Child Day Care Center after everything they have been through the last year with the pandemic and the damage caused by the storm," Lavine said.

The hundreds of toys collected at Lavine's office, the Bryant Library in Roslyn, and the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Library in Oyster Bay were the most donated since the office began hosting toy drives, according to a press release.
