25th Annual Toy Drive & Holiday Party A Smashing Success

As The Family Center marks a quarter-century of serving NYC families in 2019, this year's holiday celebrations were exceptionally festive.

On Saturday, December 21st, over 500 New Yorkers gathered with Family Center Board members, Leadership Council members, volunteers and staff for our Annual Holiday Party.  This year, The Family Center's Annual Holiday Party was hosted with special support from Capital One Commercial Banking.  Our client families and their children could not have been more grateful!  During the party, they visited with Santa, enjoyed arts and crafts and munched on holiday snacks.

Children and families were also delighted to leave the party with toys and gifts donated from the following generous companies and faith-based organizations:

Davidson Kempner

Kane Street Synagogue

La Mano

Liquidnet for Good

Macy's

Modell's Sporting Goods

New York Life

NY Philharmonic

Smart Choice Communications

Stephen Wise Free Synagogue

The Episcopal Church

Winged Keel Group
