It’s time to Fill the Truck
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.
Out shopping on Black Friday? Pick up a few extra toys and bring them with you on Saturday to help us fill the truck! Every little bit helps — from board games and books to sports gear and stuffed animals, your donation makes a difference.
Why It Matters:
For over 50 years, Cops, Kids & Toys has been bringing holiday cheer to hundreds of local families, thanks to the generosity of our community. Every single toy and donation helps spread smiles and holiday magic where it’s needed most.
How You Can Help:
- Bring a new, unwrapped toy between 9 AM and 3:30 PM
- Encourage friends, coworkers, or neighbors to donate too!
- Snap a photo when you drop off and tag us on social media to spread the word
