Community Board #7 is putting on its 20th Annual Holiday Gift Drive for the needy children in the Sunset Park & Windsor Terrace communities, and they are accepting donations. Their email says:

Over the years we have distributed thousands of toys to children but our success depends upon the kindness & generosity of everyone in the community.

We are seeking donations of NEW TOYS & CLOTHING for boys & girls from newborn to 12 years old. Donations must be UNWRAPPED!! Please drop off donations, Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm at our office located at:

Community Board #7
4201 4th Avenue (Corner of 43rd Street)
Brooklyn, N.Y. 11232

Donations of money to purchase toys can be made too. Write a check to the Sunset Park 5th Avenue B.I.D. And send it to the attention of Jeremy Laufer, District Manager, Community Board #7, 4201 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y. 11232. Donations are due by December 10.

GL is happy to help community organizations get the word out about their holiday drives so that readers who in a position to help and of a mind to do so can help. Please send notices to thegowanuslounge (at) gmail (dot) com. It will put smiles on our faces to be able to post them.
