WHEN: Friday December 22, 2011 at 9:45 AM

****************************************************************
With over 40 percent of Bronx children living below the poverty line and with the 14th Council District being one of the poorest council districts in the City, Councilman Fernando Cabrera hopes to ease tensions for struggling families this Holidays season through providing toys to households in his district. Tomorrow, Councilman Cabrera will visit P.S. 310 to kick off the Holiday Season with 300 toys for some of his youngest constituents.

“Our children deserve the best and the least I can do is reduce the tension that the Holiday season brings to many struggling families, through providing a little bit of joy to the young ones who comprise the future of my district.”
