New York State Senator Michael Venditto (R, C, I- Massapequa), recently attended the annual kick-off of the Long Island Toys for Tots Drive organized by Retired Major Chuck Kilbride. Toys for Tots raises just under $1 million in cash and toys, each year – much of which comes from hundreds of generous corporate donors, such as 7-11, Toys R Us; HESS, Hasbro, Disney, Macys, the UPS store and Build-A-Bear Workshop; as well as from volunteer fire departments and PBAs. The organization also honors any police officers who may have died over the last year, and works closely with Wounded Warriors.
