Yates County’s Cops Kids Toys campaign is collecting new, unopened toys through Tuesday, Dec. 1, to help local families in need this Christmas.
The 2026 drive is organized by the Yates County Law Enforcement Officers Union Council 82, Local 1869, according to a campaign reminder shared by the Yates County Sheriff’s Office.
Where to donate toys
The campaign flyer lists seven donation drop-off locations:
- Friendly Dodge
- Community Bank
- Refresh Dental
- Yates County Sheriff’s Office
- Yates County Office Building
- Yates County Community Center
- Dundee Village Hall
The drive requests new, unopened toys for distribution to Yates County families before Christmas. Volunteers will wrap the gifts, and deputy sheriffs will deliver them to families’ homes before the holiday, according to the flyer.
Donations stay in Yates County
The union says donations are matched by law enforcement members and remain with Yates County families in need.
The sheriff’s office reminder asks residents to support the campaign to help local families during the holiday season. The listed collection deadline is Dec. 1.
