Upper West Siders were particularly generous this year to children impacted by Hurricane Sandy on Staten Island.
Stationery & Toy Store at 125 West 72nd Street, whose owners sustained major damage to their Staten Island home and warehouses because of the hurricane, held a toy drive for kids impacted by the hurricane, and then gave the kids the toys at a special event at the St. George Theater on Staten Island. Their goal was to collect 500 toys, but they ended up getting more than 1,000. Also, so many Upper West Siders came out to support the store itself that the owners surpassed their goals. Check out the thank you note pasted to their window:
