Cops, Kids and Toys is a holiday gift program that is over 40 years old and serves children in Tompkins County, New York.  We are not able to help children living in other surrounding counties or other areas of the United States of America.

All applications are subject to review by Cops, Kids, and Toys Inc (Cops, Kids and Toys). If the information provided is found to be false, Cops, Kids and Toys Inc. reserves the right to deny the application without notification.  All applications will be verified for only being served by ONE organization for holiday gifts for the children. 

If you want help from Cops, Kids and Toys, do not sign up for help from other organizations.  If you sign up for Cops, Kids and Toys and sign up for help with another organization, let us know, so that we can remove your application and help another family.

Deadline for applications is December 1, 2025.

Late applications will be accepted only if there it time and toys available to fulfill the application.

WE WILL ONLY HAVE ONE PICK UP LOCATION THIS YEAR.  It will be at the Shops of Ithaca Mall, across from the Zocalo Restaurant.  Please note this change in location. Days that we will be open for pick up of gifts will be December 16-20th  from 9:00am-3:00pm, and Thursday December 18th  from 10:00 am - 6:00 pm.  If an earlier time is needed please contact Cops, Kids and Toys at info@CopsKidsAndToys.org and we will do our best to meet your needs.

 Please read through the application carefully.  There are enough spaces to accommodate a family with up to 5 children.  If you have less than 5 children, please skip ahead to the next section.  If you have more than 5 children, please email Cops, Kids and Toys at info@CopsKidsandToys.org or text us at 607-423-3047, so that we can know this and are able to keep your family's gifts together.  Please be sure to give your first and last name and a phone number when communicating with us.

Please use the most up to date phone numbers and emails on your application. If there are questions regarding your application, we want to be able to contact you. We normally call, text or email questions.  

A confirmation email will be sent out when your application has been tentatively accepted.  Full acceptance comes after we have checked Salvation Army, Toys for Tots, and the child's school for participation in other holiday gift giving organizations. Children who are being served by other organizations will not also be served by Cops, Kids and Toys.  IF YOU ARE DENIED if your are accepted the email confirmation of the application will suffice as a yes and that you can come to the pick up times.

Completing the application in one sitting will be the best way to ensure that your application is turned in and it's now in the hands of Cops, Kids and Toys to verify.
