Cops for Kids
Every year the Lakeland Police department has sponsored the Cops for Kids program.
This toy donation program, with the help of generous community donors, allows families to provide their children with a happy holiday. Gift donations for children up to 12 years of age are accepted. The gifts should be unwrapped and can be dropped off at the Lakeland Police Station. Cash donations are also accepted.
If you would like to make an early donation, please contact the Community Services Unit at 863.834.6912.
This is a great opportunity to put a smile on a child’s face this holiday season!
Looking to share some good will and cheer this coming holiday season? Donate to our Cops For Kids Toy Drive!
