Farmingville, NY – Supervisor Ed Romaine has announced that the 2018 Holiday Toy Drive hosted by the Town of Brookhaven Youth Bureau’s INTERFACE Program helped a record number of families in 2018. The Toy Drive provided toys for 1,265 families in need and a total of 7,887 children. Last year’s Toy Drive provided toys for 1,086 families in need and a total of 7,186 children.

Supervisor Romaine said, “I want to thank everyone who generously donated to the INTERFACE Toy Drive this holiday season. This program ensures thousands of children experience the joy of opening a gift and makes their holiday that much happier.”

Councilman Michael Loguercio, the Town Board Liaison to the Youth Bureau, said, “Once again, Brookhaven residents and local businesses have risen to the challenge of helping their neighbors in need. Thank you to the Youth Bureau and everyone who contributed to this year’s Toy Drive. Your donations made the holiday season merrier for families in need.”

INTERFACE is a partnership between individuals, good corporate neighbors and the Town of Brookhaven united in a common effort to provide help to Brookhaven’s less fortunate residents. It provides goods and services to those in need and addresses social issues.
