Plainview Water District Thanks the POB Community for Support in Toys for Tots Drive

More than 100 Toys Collected for Children in the Community

The Plainview-Old Bethpage community once again showed its generosity by contributing to the annual toy drive at the Plainview Water District. As it has done in years past, the Plainview Water District partnered with the Toys for Tot’s Foundation, sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. The District headquarters functioned as an official drop-off site for the foundation, successfully collecting more than 100 toys.

“The Plainview Water District loves getting the opportunity to take part in this great initiative each and every year,” said PWD Commissioner Marc Laykind. “Each year, the POB residents band together to do their part and support this great event. The communities’ contributions make each holiday season that much more special for so many individuals and families.”

The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve ‘Toys for Tots’ Foundation is a nonprofit organization that aims to provide all children across the United States with happiness and joy throughout the holiday season. Through the gift of a new toy, disadvantaged children will not be overlooked during the holidays, and will know that a community of people care for them.

“The District is dedicated to assisting the community in any way it can whether its providing high-quality water or participating in events like these to put a smile on someone’s face,” said PWD Commissioner Bader. “We are proud to lead these initiatives and take part in community events like these. Thank you to the entire Plainview-Old Bethpage community for your support each time.”

Since the District started this partnership several years ago, hundreds of toys have been donated from the community to support this cause. The Plainview Water District thanks the Plainview-Old Bethpage community for their generosity and continued support.

“We often underestimate and forget how much we take for granted each holiday season,” said PWD Commissioner Michael Chad. “Whether it’s the water in our taps, food on the table, or gifts our loved ones received–it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle and forget how there are individuals within our own community who do not have the same as us. We hope by taking part in this effort that we can make at least one person in our community’s holiday all the more magical.”
