2021 Holiday Food & Toy Drive

from now through Sunday, December 17th

The West 104th Street Block Association is again partnering with City Harvest to collect non-perishable food items for those in need.

In addition, this year we have added a toy drive program! Please consider donating new/unwrapped toys as well as gently used toys (jigsaw puzzles, card games etc.).

Toys will be redistributed to nonprofit organizations- Womankind, Not4gotten NYC, and/or Toys for Tots. Volunteers are needed to manage donation boxes at 315 RSD, 895 and 905 WEA and 309 West 104 Street. Contact Peter below for more detail.

The collection boxes will be located in the lobby or laundry rooms of 315 Riverside Dr, 320 Riverside Dr, 309 West 104th St, 895 West End Ave, and 905 West End Ave.

If your building does not have collection bins, you can drop off in the lobby of 320 Riverside Drive.

AND for fun- decorate your Box…we will publish photos of submissions.
