for Cops, Kids & Toys!
Join us on Saturday, November 29, outside Target at The Shops at Ithaca Mall, and help make the holidays brighter for children in our community. From 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, our volunteers and local law enforcement partners will be collecting new, unwrapped toys to support families in need across Tompkins County.
