ALBANY, N.Y. (WENY) – New York's annual statewide holiday donation drive kicked off today with donation locations across the state. Specifically, donations of new and unwrapped toys, coats and school supplies are being asked for.
"This holiday season, I encourage all New Yorkers to come together to support families and children across the state who are in need," Governor Kathy Hochul said in a prepared statement.
Donations will be used to assist community-based organizations during the holiday giving season and distributed to families in underserved communities throughout New York.
