OLMCA’s Toy Drive

We are again collecting toys and baby items for the children served by two charities we have worked with in the past: The Bridge to Life and Catholic Charities. Our goal is 100 toys/items, and given the success of the clothing drive I'm sure we'll meet if not exceed it! The age range for toys is from infant through pre-teen; baby items including diapers/pull-ups and pajamas for newborns through toddler are also needed.  

Items can be dropped off in front of the School Office until Monday, December 12. 

We welcome volunteers to help sort on a weekly basis  (this is a great opportunity for service hours for our students). If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Kathryn Bourgoine at  [email protected]

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Alleva at [email protected] or 718-793-2086. Wednesday, December 7^thth will be a 12:30PM dismissal for all students.
