Plainview Water District Partners with Toys for Tots for Annual Holiday Toy Drive

POB Community Encouraged to Donate New, Unwrapped Toys at District Headquarters Through December 19th

The Plainview Water District (PWD) is proud to once again partner with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots Foundation to help bring joy to children in need this holiday season. Now through Thursday, December 19th, the Plainview Water District headquarters located at 10 Manetto Hill Road, Plainview will serve as an official drop-off site for new, unwrapped toy donations.

“The Plainview Water District is thrilled to once again participate in the Toys for Tots program,” said PWD Commissioner Marc Laykind. “Every year, our community shows incredible generosity and compassion and we’re confident that this year will be no different. Together, we can help make the holidays a little brighter for children and families who need it most.”

The Toys for Tots Foundation, organized by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, is dedicated to ensuring that every child experiences the magic of the holiday season. By donating a new toy, community members can make a meaningful difference in the lives of local children who might otherwise go without gifts this year.

“Being part of this program, each holiday season is one of the highlights of our year,” said PWD Commissioner Andrew Bader. “We’re proud to serve not only as stewards of our community’s water, but also as partners in efforts that bring people together and spread kindness across Plainview-Old Bethpage.”

The District has been a collection site for Toys for Tots for several years, helping to gather hundreds of donations from local residents. Each contribution, no matter how small, helps ensure that children throughout the region experience the joy of receiving a new toy this holiday season.
