Cops, Kids & Toys is so much more than toys
February 14, 2023

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.

Thanks to your continued support and dedication, this first-ever event was a huge success! WE are so incredibly grateful for all of you. Your willingness, time, talent, hard work, positive energy, and enthusiasm of support allows us to continue to make a positive impact in our communities. WE are very fortunate to have so many supportive businesses/organizations and individuals alongside us. Thank you for believing in our missions and joining us to help us achieve our goals. We were able to raise a total of $6685.00 to donate to the Cops, Kids and Toys to provide gifts for the kids during the holidays and the Cayuga Cancer Center to provide assistance to cancer patients and their families. Incredible for our very first 5K Walk-A-Thon. A special THANK YOU to our local law enforcement officers who helped us make this happen, our very own Q Country 103.7 Chris Allinger for his continuing incredible support, Texas Roadhouse-Joe & Kelsey Root, our volunteers, Chrome Divas of Ithaca & Chrome Divas of Watertown and The Shops at Ithaca Mall.
