The application will be available until November 21.  Please get your applications in early.  Late applications will NOT be accepted.  Pick-up Day is Tuesday, December 14, 2021.  Our applications are only for children in Tompkins County, New York.  We are sorry that we are unable to help other children in other counties.

Applications have changed this year, so please read through the application carefully.  We are only having pick-up options this year. Please put your children's interests down and not just toys that they want.  We bought from local stores again this year and are excited about the items we have been able to secure.  We have never given video gaming systems, video games, cell phones, or gift cards to stores.  We are not purchasing gift cards to the movie theater this year.  Applications without child interests will be denied and parents will need to reapply.

We have done our best to raise funds this year, but have limited funds. Cornell is unable to give us athletic tickets and we choose not to purchase movie tickets for the older children.  We will be making other accommodations to number of toys/gifts depending on how many applications we receive along with the number of donations.  We are working hard to keep Cops, Kids and Toys going for years to come. 

Applications are only being taken online.  You can complete your application using smart phones, tablets and computers.  Only completed applications will be accepted.  If applications have phone numbers and email addresses that do not allow us to contact you with questions, your application will be removed.  We will be using email and texts to contact applicants and if we don't hear back, we will have to deny the application. 

This year we are only offering pick-up this year.  Pick-up day is Tuesday, December  14, 2021.  Please bring a state id for pick-up.  Only applicants will be able to pick up the gifts for the children.  Please plan your schedule accordingly.  Phone calls the day of asking for a change in this policy will be denied.  We have over 700 families that we normally serve, and cannot have people making last minute changes.   

Applications cannot be changed for pick-up location once they have been accepted. 

Please thank the volunteers when you pick-up!

If you sign up for Salvation Army, Cornell Elves, Trumansburg Area Christmas Assistance program, or any other assistance program, you may not also sign up for Cops, Kids and Toys. If multiple applications are found, your application with Cops, Kids and Toys will be terminated and you will not be notified. Some schools and school districts are not wanting to share Cornell Elf information, if that is the case with your application, you will be notified and it will be up to you to prove that you've not applied to Cornell Elves as well through written notification from the Cornell Elf liaison at your child's school.  You will be notified if this is the case, by the end of Thanksgiving weekend and notification will be due by Dec. 1, or applications will be terminated. 

Applications must have working emails and phone numbers, in order for us to contact you to verify your application.  Applications with invalid phone and email will result in a termination.


Once you receive a text or email letting you know that your application has been received, your application is set.  NO changes will be made at this point.  If you move, please notify us.  If you move out of Tompkins County, we are unable to help you and your application will be terminated.  There will be no exceptions to this policy. 

For questions you have about the application, you can email info@copskidsandtoys.org or call/text 607-379-1215.

We also have a question/answer section.
