Some contribute new backpacks, notebooks, pens, crayons, colored pencils and other supplies, others send a check to help purchase these items, or organize a neighborhood or workplace drive to collect them.

This annual holiday donation program sponsored by Bethpage Federal Credit Union brings joy to more than 3,000 children in Suffolk county. The program kicks off in October when we begin collecting donations of toys and gifts from various businesses, banks and corporations. Donors are encouraged to coordinate their own toy collections in their neighborhood, business, club or other groups—with gift cards and financial donations also welcome.
In December, participants pick up donated toys and bring them to our distribution centers, setting up “shopping” areas, assisting parents in choosing age-appropriate gifts, and wrapping gifts before parents take them home to give to their children.
