A Queens-based non-profit is bringing comfort and joy to local families during the colder months with its Coat and Toy Drive.
Commonpoint, a community-centered social services organization, has kicked off its annual Coat and Toy Drive to help community members in need during the holiday season.
The drive collects new toys for children ages 0-10 and gently used or new winter coats for all ages. Community members are encouraged to drop off donations at four Commonpoint locations across Queens.
