North Shore Communities Unite to Provide Holiday Cheer by Valeriana Dema
Local organizations team up to better serve their communities through a series of toy drive giveaways.
Nine-year old Zayquan Davis had a feeling he was going to win big at Park Hill’s Winter Wonderland Toy Drive Giveaway. Before arriving, he told his mother that he thought he would win a TV. Sure enough, his raffle number was called.
“I was shocked when I saw him running over to the other side,” said his mother, Monica Davis.
“I felt really good and thankful,” beamed the younger Davis. “It has been a blessed day.”
The Davis children each received toys along with the raffle prize, a 32-inch smart TV. Other raffle prizes included bicycles, scooters, laptops, and PlayStations.
From December 12 to 20, four Winter Wonderland events were organized on the North Shore through collaboration between Urban Hope NYC, Uncle Chase Foundation, Brothers Care, Inc., and K Woods Foundation. Children in Stapleton, Mariners Harbor, West Brighton, and Park Hill received toys that were fundraised for and donated by community members as well as by Toys for Tots and the Teddy Atlas Foundation. Baby food, diapers, wipes, coats, hats, gloves, and other winter clothing were also donated and distributed.
