In December, Manhattan Prep took part in three separate holiday drives. We collected non-perishable food to be donated to New York’s City Harvest with a goal of collecting a minimum of 100 pounds of food items and/or the estimated equivalent in monetary donations. We also collected children’s toys to be donated to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation with a  goal of collecting a minimum of 50 new toys to be distributed to needy children in NYC. Finally, we collected warm clothing to be donated to the  New York Cares Coat Drive. We aimed to collect as many new or gently used coats as possible to be distributed to those affected by Hurricane Sandy in Staten Island, the Rockaways and other hard hit areas. After a month of collections, we surpassed the goals for both our food and toy drives in addition to collecting over a dozen coats for those in need. Furthermore, our sister company mbaMission, graciously matched our food donation to City Harvest with an additional $250 donation. Thank you to all of our staff, instructors and students who participated!
