Toys donated to Coney homeless shelter after Toys for Tots fails to collect gifts
It was a Christmas miracle for kids living in homeless shelters in Coney Island.
The youngsters enjoyed the bounty of a box of playthings collected at The Home Reporter, 9733 Fourth Avenue, for Toys for Tots, after the organization failed to show up to collect them by Friday, December 22, 2017, the last workday before the holiday.
Faced with a stack of toys, Lori Pedone, vice president of events for Schneps Communications and the Star Network, began looking to find a group that would accept them.
