Families with children in need are encouraged to apply well in advance of the December 1, 2024, deadline on this page. All applications are reviewed by Cops, Kids, and Toys Inc. and need is verified by each child's school district. All applications will be screened to ensure each child is being served by only one organization providing holiday gifts. Should the application information provided be false or misleading, Cops, Kids and Toys Inc. reserves the right to deny the application without notification. We regret that we are not able to help children living in other surrounding counties or other areas of the United States of America. We apologize in advance if your child's school will not work with Cops, Kids and Toys to obtain the verification necessary to ensure that children are only being served by one organization. It is important to Cops, Kids & Toys that each application is treated with equity, and we are unable to accept applications that are not verified. ALL applications and ALL children will need verification to have the application accepted for 2024. Verification from last year is not valid. If you want to receive gifts for your children from Cops, Kids and Toys, please do not sign up for similar assistance from other organizations. The deadline for applications is December 1, 2024. Late applications will not be accepted. Apply here .

The Pew Knitters are a caring group of women who hand knit and crochet hats, mittens, scarves, blankets, and slippers for the children we serve during the holidays. They are requesting yarn donations so that they start their knitting and crocheting for 2024. If you have yarn you would like to donate for this purpose, please call Sis at 607-272-6806. Your donations are greatly appreciated! Monetary gifts to offset the cost of yarn are welcome, too. Yarn donations also can be dropped off at the Tompkins County Probation Department. Sis has asked for any and all colors of yarn (dark, light and pastels). The ladies make handmade items for all age groups and genders. Thank you for your generosity!

Our sincere thanks to all the volunteers and Police Agencies who helped make 2023 a successful year for Cops, Kids & Toys! We really appreciate everyone's help. With you, we were able to serve more than 800 kids in the Tompkins County. Let's work to make 2024 even better!

Cops, Kids & Toys helps children in Tompkins County, NY, in many meaningful ways, including providing and properly installing car seats. Tyler Mix from the Tompkins County Probation Department and a Cops, Kids & Toys board member is one of only a handful of people in Tompkins County who has been certified as a Car Seat Technician. This means that Tyler has received specialized training on how to properly install car seats. Cops, Kids & Toys works with several community agencies providing car seats for families who may not be on public assistance but still cannot afford a car seat for their children (there is a separate program for families on public assistance). Southside Community Center contacted Cops, Kids & Toys asking for help in obtaining extra car seats so that they could safely transport children in their care. On February 14, 2023, Cops, Kids & Toys, the Probation Department of Tompkins County, and the Ithaca Police Department delivered two car seats to Southside Community Center to help them transport children safely. This is just one of the many ways Cops, Kids & Toys gives back to the children and community of Tompkins County.

Cops, Kids and Toys would like to thank the Ithaca Eagles Club for their continued support. We are grateful for the many years of support you've given us, and we do not take it for granted.
