Since the early 1980’s Cops, Kids & Toys has grown. During the early years the volunteers thought that they were going to fall short, but the Tompkins County, New York community has always come through. Cops, Kids & Toys volunteers work throughout the year raising funds. You may have seen them collecting returnable bottles and cans at the Grass Roots  Festival or helping at the Cornell Dump & Run Sale. We could never do it without the support of the community.  The program continues with that same goal and has been able to help more families in Tompkins County over the years.  Applications are taken for toy delivery in the months of October and November. Cops, Kids & Toys delivered to more than 550 families with nearly 1,250 kids. Monetary donations are accepted anytime at any county law enforcement agency or the Tompkins County Probation Department. Checks should be made out to  Cops, Kids & Toys, Inc.  Monetary donations may also be mailed (See info on Donation page).
