Organizers say they had to make some changes this year due to the pandemic.
"We had to do it a little differently, so it's like a grab-and-go gift giveaway today. Although, we did do the lighting of the candles, which was special," said Keith Lilly, district leader of New York's 68th Assembly District.
This community celebration has been held every year for the last 20 years.
