Nassau Toy Drive Extended To Dec. 23; Will Benefit Families In Need

GLEN COVE, NY — Nassau County Assembly Member Charles Lavine, from Glen Cove, announced that his holiday toy drive has been extended. The original deadline of Dec. 16 has been changed to Dec. 23, to give residents more time to donate new gifts to Nassau families in need, a spokesperson from the lawmaker's office told Patch.

There are five drop locations in North Nassau for new, unwrapped gift donations. The toys will go to families in need at Hicksville's Boys & Girls Club.

“Last year’s toy drive, which was so successful, was a shining example of the generosity of the community and I am confident for another great outcome for the kids at the Hicksville Boys & Girls Club," Lavine said.

Toys can be dropped off at Lavine’s district office, 1 School Street, Suite 303-B, Glen Cove, Monday through Friday from 10 to 3 p.m.

Donations can also be brought to: Bryant Library in Roslyn, the Glen Cove Public Library, the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Public Library in Oyster Bay and the Sea Cliff Village Library.
