For the past 19 years on an annual basis, just a week before the Christmas holidays, we have been distributing Toys, Games, Books and electronic gadgets to thousands of kids and families in need with The Humanitarians of the World Inc, Toy and Food presentations on an annual basis.

We distribute close to 100 bags, which contain enough toys and food for a family of four. Most of the toys are given to kids who have Cancer, MS and many other life threatening diseases and the parents are struggling to buy the kids the necessary toys for the holidays.

Also we have been donating toys to needy children, in the projects, homeless shelters throughout the five boroughs.

Many times we would also deliver some toys, at local hospitals to sick children, with Cancer, MS and many other life threatening diseases.

So this year we were not able to donate any toys at the hospitals to many children, because of the underlying conditions and the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Year 2020, has been the worst year for many people around the world, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. We at Humanitarians of the World Inc have been struggling more than ever to raise money and donations for our many Humanitarian causes.

So this year, we did not get many donations of money or toys, so we ended up buying the toys for the children , because we decided that the toys are desperately needed , for many kids who are needy and parents are struggling now more than ever to support their households.

Humanitarians of the World Inc, officers and volunteers, got together and raised enough money for 50 bags of toys, games, books and electronic gadgets. The 50 Bags were given to 50 People with an average family of 4 people, total people of 200 were given toys and food.

Jose who had three children, went onto say he lost his job, and is on public assistance and is struggling to get food on a daily basis, and there was no way to get any toys for his three children, once Pastor Alba told Jose about the Humanitarians of the World Inc, Toys and Food distribution and that he was one of the recipient alongside his family, to get an bag of toys for his children, he was so happy and thanked everyone from Humanitarians of the World Inc, and went on to say, thank God, organizations, like Humanitarians of the World Inc, exist and help families like him. We ended up giving an additional bag to Jose and his family since he had five people, his children immediately opened the bags and started playing with them immediately, as Christmas came to them early.
