Bushwick: Give Toys to Sick and Needy Kids in the Neighborhood This Christmas

By Kings County Politics News Service:

BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN — Christmas is around the corner, and children in local public housing developments and in Woodhull Hospital are hoping Santa will have a little something for them too. So on Friday, Bushwick's assembly district leader Tommy Torres is asking for toys for the Annual Teacher Toy Drive Event.

Torres, an assistant principal at the Grand Street Campus High School and a District 14 Educator for the past 20 years, has been coming together for several years with teachers and staff from Williamsburg and Bushwick to help fund-raise toys and donations for the local kids from the community.

Toys collected at the event will be distributed on Saturday Dec. 17 throughout local NYCHA Developments and at Woodhull Hospital.

The Annual Teacher Toy Drive is slated for between 4 p.m.-8 p.m., on Dec. 9 at No Bull NYC, 1059 Flushing Ave. in Bushwick.
