The Off-Broadway League today announced its annual  OFF-BROADWAY TOY DRIVE has begun and will benefit children at The Row, a NYC Department of Homeless Services family shelter in Times Square. Last year over 218 toys were donated! This year's goal is to raise at least 125 presents for kids aged six months to 18 years old. Toys can be donated by bringing them to a  participating theater or by purchasing on Amazon.com, Wal-Mart.com or any other online retailer and shipping it directly to Off-Broadway Toy Drive, c/o The Theater Center, 210 West 50th Street, 4th floor, New York, NY 10019.
