Bink International Charity Annual Back-to-School & Toys Giveaway

Date: August 22, 2026
Location: Oval Park, East Orange, New Jersey

Overview

Bink International Charity successfully hosted its Annual Back-to-School and Toys Giveaway, bringing together families, community leaders, and partners for a day dedicated to supporting children and preparing them for the upcoming school year. The event saw an overwhelming turnout, with a long line of families eagerly waiting to be served—clear evidence of both the need within the community and the trust placed in our organization.

Impact & Distribution

We are proud to report that a total of 504 backpacks —equivalent to 21 boxes of 24 backpacks each—were distributed to children in attendance. Each backpack was thoughtfully filled with essential school supplies to ensure students are well-equipped for academic success.

In addition to school supplies, hundreds of toys were distributed, bringing joy and excitement to every child. Thanks to our generous partners, each child received both a backpack and toys, making the experience both practical and memorable.

Parents were not left out. Each family received a goody bag containing bath, body care, and beauty products such as perfume, shampoo, sunscreen lotion, home fragrance items, and T-shirts. In addition, the goody bags also included electronics such as phone chargers and screen protectors, further supporting families with useful everyday essentials.

We are especially proud to have exceeded our goal of serving at least 500 children, a milestone that reflects the dedication of our team and the strength of our community partnerships.

Happy New Week, y’all! 💜

Let’s continue to spread love, kindness, and care wherever we go. You never know how much a simple act of kindness or a smile can mean to someone. ❤️

This past Saturday, Bink International Charity had the pleasure of joining Maleicks Bee – Little Angels for their beautiful Block Party for Kids and Families at 432 E 162nd Street in the Bronx.

As always, it was a wonderful opportunity for our team to come together with other community partners, families, and children to share smiles, create memories, and serve our community. From free school supplies and giveaways to food, drinks, games, activities, music, and plenty of positive energy, the event was truly a celebration of community and togetherness.

But this event was especially meaningful for us because of an unexpected and heartwarming show of teamwork. Our Bink International Charity team had the wonderful support of NYPD officers who stepped in to help us serve families and distribute the giveaways.

Seeing community members, nonprofit organizations, and law enforcement working side by side to serve children and families was truly special. Moments like these remind us that when we come together with a common purpose, we can make an even greater impact.

A BIG THANK YOU to Mariama Fisher, CEO of Maleicks Bee – Little Angels, for inviting Bink International Charity to collaborate and be part of this beautiful event. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to partner with you and your organization in creating positive experiences and bringing resources, joy, and support to our communities.

To the NYPD officers who assisted our team, thank you for your support and for helping us make the giveaway run smoothly. Your willingness to lend a hand and serve alongside us was greatly appreciated! 🙏🏾

And of course, thank you to every volunteer, partner, family, and community member who helped make the day a success.

Bink International Charity is always at your service.
Together, let’s keep building stronger communities, one act of kindness at a time.
