Eastie’s Elves started over 20 years ago and it has been passed down to the Madaro Foundation, headed by State Representative Adrian Madaro & family.
This holiday toy drive /dinner dance tradition has brought smiles and happiness to thousands of children around the East Boston community, and now has expanded its range to include the communities of Revere and Winthrop.
With the generosity of many local businesses and donations from residents of all these communities the Eastie’s Elves toy drive has become a staple in the community of good will, and thanks to the hard work of the many volunteers it grows bigger every year.
The volunteers of the Madaro Foundation have just hosted a Thanksgiving Dinner program, during which they fed over 1,000 families, and still stayed focused on the Christmas venue of Eastie’s Elves, collecting toys and donations, to make this Christmas a very merry one for lots of deserving children.
