Kiwanis Club

Citing the financial impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on many families, the East Hampton Kiwanis Club is seeking donations of new, unwrapped toys to be distributed to local kids in need for the holidays.

Through Dec. 21, people can drop off donations to several locations around town: M&R Deli and Herb's Market in Montauk, Brent's General Store in Amagansett, the Springs General Store and Springs Pizza, and the Clubhouse/East Hampton Indoor Tennis in Wainscott. In East Hampton, drop-off locations are the middle school, Village Hardware, One Stop Market, and the offices of the Corcoran and Brown Harris Stevens/Halstead real estate companies.

Donations of money are also welcome, and will go toward buying additional gifts for the toy drive.

This year marks the 35th that the Kiwanis Club is holding its toy drive.

"It takes teamwork to make things possible," Lou Profera, a club member, said in an email. "Our club is committed to being here for every family that has fallen on difficult times."
