SENATOR GOLDEN LENDS SUPPORT TO COLLECTION DRIVES FOR FAMILIES IN NEED

Brooklyn– State Senator Martin J. Golden (R-C-I, Brooklyn) today is announcing that in partnership with the U.S. Marine Corps League and Turning Point Brooklyn, his offices will be collecting clothing items and toys for distribution to families in need of assistance during this holiday season. 

The U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program annually collects new, unwrapped toys during the holiday season and distributes those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community. This gesture of giving and hope to less fortunate youngsters will hopefully not only bring holiday joy, but cause our youngsters to become responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.

Additionally, Turning Point Brooklyn reaches tens of thousands of individuals a year throughout Brooklyn. They provide many effective programs and services designed to empower under-served, high-need individuals to overcome difficult circumstances and make positive changes in their lives. Through its efforts, Turning Point Brooklyn gives hope and strength for the most neglected members of our community.

“I am honored to partner with the U.S. Marine Corp Reserve and Turning Point Brooklyn this Holiday season to help bring some happiness and comfort to families in need here in Brooklyn”, stated Senator Martin Golden. “Our community is extremely generous and always responds to help our neighbors who are less fortunate. I encourage everyone to please donate toys and clothing this Christmas season so we can deliver happiness, goodwill and love to all who need our help.”

Senator Golden will be collecting unwrapped new toys and new clothing, including socks and coats to assist the U.S. Marine Corp League and Turning Point Brooklyn. Please drop off your donation to Senator Golden's District Office at either of Senator Golden's offices at 7408 5th Avenue or 3604 Quentin Road, before December 11th to ensure that a person in need receives your help this holiday season.
