BRONX, NY – State Senator Jeff Klein (D-Bronx/Westchester) hosted his Fourth Annual Throggs Neck Houses Toy Distribution Day on Tuesday.  Hundreds of children were delighted when Senator Klein presented them with gifts such as board games, airplanes, dolls, sporting equipment, and race cars.  They enjoyed holiday snacks, refreshments, and even a visit from Santa Claus at The Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club.

“Today we witnessed a tremendous display of community spirit and ensured that children of all ages will have a joyous holiday.  Thank you to our generous sponsors and community partners who have helped make this year’s toy drive a true success,” said Senator Klein.
