Hamilton Madison House toy drive in NYC
December 8th, 2009 by Planet Chocko
Oops, I should have posted this update a few weeks ago, but better late than never I say! Okay, all you Planet Chocko martians! There is a toy drive hosted by the Hamilton Madison House in NYC which is a non-profit settlement house that is focused on improving the quality of life for low income families mainly in the two bridges/chinatown – lower east side area of Manhattan. The toy drive will help to make a better holiday for these kids whose families are having a tough time getting by from day to day. We are hoping a small gift at christmas time for these youngsters will uplift their spirits for at least one day. This toy drive & awareness has been brought to the forefront from one of the advocates of C-town, role model, & business owners of Chinatown, Christina from the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. She & her family have been romping around Chinatown-NYC with an inspirational business model called the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory for almost 30 years! So, thanks to Christina for raising awareness of this toy drive & let’s give back a little if we can. Dropoff your new unwrapped toys for kids between 5-12 years old @ the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory on 65 Bayard St. NY,NY. The last day of the toy drive is on Dec. 14th. So, if you are in the ‘hood please headoff to CICF, do a good deed to make a kid smile, & while you are there grab yo’self a nice refreshing scoop of homemade ice cream of the rich & delicate proportion made with love from the lower east…china side represent!
