Toy Drive

276 Cares will be collecting new, unwrapped toys to be distributed through the Legal Aid Society's Juvenile Rights Practice and Urban Resource Institute.

Through the Legal Aid Society's Juvenile Rights Practice, toys will be distributed to children who have been abandoned, abused, and/or neglected and also to children from low-income families who are struggling to provide food and shelter.

Urban Resource Institute will share the toys with children living in safe horizon shelters throughout New York City.

For many of these children, this toy drive will be the only source of holiday gifts. Thank you for helping to make their holidays a little brighter!

What: New, unwrapped toys (no toy guns or weapons, please)

When: Monday, December 2 - Wednesday, December 11

Where: 276 Lobby - Look for the marked collection box

ACTION REQUIRED: Lunch/Family Income Inquiry Form

Although school lunch is free this year, ALL families are required to fill out the Lunch/ Family Income Inquiry Forms. The information provided may help 276 receive additional funding. We encourage families to complete the form online. Hard copies of this form will be sent home with your child in September and will also be available in the 276 main office.

If you do not wish to provide your household income information to the DOE, all families must still complete the form but may click the "I do not wish to provide my household information" box on the Application Instruction page online.

Please respond to this email if you need your student's OSIS/Student ID # (it is also available on their report cards.) New student #s will not be available until early September.

Participation Is Key

Giving has never been easier! Small monthly payments add up to make a huge difference. Most families give between $50-$100 each month. If every family signed up for recurring payments, we would be able to fund all of our programs.

Click Here to learn more about different ways to contribute today!

Thank you to everyone who has already given this year.
