NEW YORK – Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Manhattan has partnered with two worthy organizations that provide toys and other essentials to those in need. 

For most, the holidays are a special time, one filled with excitement and anticipation. Sadly, many families in New York City do not have the means to purchase even the basic needs. 

Both the Harlem YMCA and Little Essentials embrace the season of giving by ensuring that their program participants and community families receive gifts during the holiday season.
