This December, the team at Manhattan Prep ran its first holiday season food & toy drive. Manhattan Prep staff, Instructors and students at our New York City headquarters contributed games, stuffed animals, food items, and spare change to the efforts. In just over two weeks, we collected over 100 items of food, donated to City Harvest, and over 40 toys for Toys for Tots.

The United States Marines’ Toys for Tots program collects toys between October and December every year for children who otherwise wouldn’t have any gifts to open during the holidays. City Harvest, a New York-based nonprofit, collects food year-round to support its many community programs aimed at feeding New York City’s hungry. We’re thrilled to be supporting such worthy organizations. Thanks to all who contributed!
