Bronx —

The Bronx’s annual toy drive kicked off  with fifth-graders from Public School 205 hand-delivering the first presents of the season to the Bronx Zoo. The drive, coordinated by Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz and the Wildlife Conservation Society, benefits children of military families.

New, unwrapped toys will be accepted until Dec. 31 at New the York Aquarium, Central Park Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo, Queens Zoo, as well as the Bronx Zoo. Donors will receive one free ticket to the Bronx Zoo or New York Aquarium.
