Water provider helps collect new toys for Nassau County's needy children.

New York American Water has partnered with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation and has become an official drop-off sight for the charitable organization’s annual toy drive. Nassau County residents interested in donating a new, unwrapped toy to benefit the needy children in Nassau County are encouraged to utilize the drop box at New York American Water’s headquarters at 60 Brooklyn Avenue, Merrick, NY, 11566. The Toys for Tots donation bin is available to any interested residents between 8am and 4pm through December 16, 2016.

“As a veteran with a son currently deployed overseas in the Marines Corps, I could not be more proud to have New York American Water join the robust support system the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation has put together with the communities throughout Nassau County,” said New York American Water President Brian Bruce. “The holiday season is all about giving back and lifting the spirits of those around you. Between encouraging our employees to participate and the generosity of the community, we will fill this box to the brim and bring smiles to a lot of very deserving children.”
