The Greenburgh Nature Center is helping Westchester families in need this holiday season. The center is holding a holiday toy drive to provide needy children in Westchester with a toy or gift for the holiday.
All the toys and gifts will be given to the young patients of Open Door Family Medical Centers, said Vicki Sherman of the GNC.
Open Door Family Medical Centers is a multi-cultural health center that services the Westchester community, with centers in Ossining, Port Chester, Mount Kisco and Sleepy Hollow. Open Door also runs five school-based, health centers in Port Chester.
Looking to donate to a local cause this holiday season? The GNC is seeking folks to give new, unwrapped, children's toys or gifts. Those who want to make a donation to the local cause can drop off the toys now through December 17. The center is accepting new, unwrapped gifts of a $10-$20 value for children ages newborn to 14-years-old. Folks can leave donations at the GNC Manor House.
In 2011, 14,520 children were treated at Open Door centers, according to a media release. All funding for the organization comes from local, state and federal grants as well as private foundations and individuals.
