Donation Bins Open Nov. 1 for the 2025 Holiday Toy Drive!
October 22, 2025

Your gifts will make a child smile this holiday season!

From November 1 through December 1, Cops, Kids & Toys invites the community to help spread holiday joy by donating new, unwrapped toys for children in need across Tompkins County.


Donation bins are now available at dozens of local businesses, community centers, and police departments throughout the county — from Lansing to Dryden, Groton to Trumansburg, and Downtown Ithaca to East Hill.


Find the full list of donation bin locations here:
www.copskidsandtoys.org/donation-bin-locations


Bins will be collected around December 1, so please donate early! After that date, toys can be brought directly to the Toy Room at the Shops at Ithaca Mall (during open hours), or dropped off at any of the following:

  • Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office
  • Cayuga Heights Police Department
  • Cornell Police Department
  • Ithaca College Police Department
  • Tompkins County Probation Department


A huge thank-you to our local business and community partners for hosting donation bins year after year. Your generosity makes it possible for hundreds of children to experience the magic of the holidays.


Monetary donations are also deeply appreciated and can be made online or by check (payable to Cops, Kids & Toys Inc.) and mailed to PO Box 519, Dryden, New York 13053. Please do not place checks in the bins, as they are not secure.


Together, we can make this season brighter for every child in our community. Thank you!
