Haven Academy in the Bronx

The Toy Industry Foundation (TIF) will return to Haven Academy Charter School in the Bronx Thursday, September 13, 2012 to distribute “My Stuff duffels” to more than 50 children in the foster care and welfare systems. Kindergartners at Haven Academy will start the year off right with duffel bags filled with school supplies and toys to spark creativity in the young learners, as well as other necessities including blankets and toiletries.

In New York City alone, there are 16,000 children who are living in foster care. They are among the 400,000 kids rescued from abuse or neglect that are in the foster care system across the U.S.
