Council Member Jumaane Williams has announced his office’s annual Holiday Toy Drive, which will benefit local children in need.

“As the Holidays rapidly approach, it is my hope our neighbors find it in their hearts to give a little more this year to those among us who are less fortunate,” said Council Member Williams. “The holidays should be a joyous time for every boy and girl, but many among us are finding it harder to smile this year. We can make their season a little brighter by taking part in this year’s Holiday Toy Drive. I look forward to this year’s drive bringing joy to countless children across our District.”

Donations can be dropped off at Council Member Williams’ district office located at: 4517 Avenue D. The office is accepting unwrapped toys that do not promote violence or guns. Donations are encouraged to be gender-neutral and appropriate for any age. The toy drive ends Monday, December 22nd.
