Cops for Tots Annual December Gift Giveaway
Thirty-five years ago, one employee at Greer Police Department started the Cops for Tots Program as a way to help a small number of struggling families in the Greer area at Christmas time. The program was established to provide gifts for children who otherwise would have no gifts to open on Christmas day. Since that time, the program has grown exponentially and now helps hundreds of children each December. For the Greer Police Department, we take seriously the call to partner with our community and foster positive relationships between officers and children. We look forward each year to giving the gift of joy to our area children!
Participation
Families needing assistance through this year's Cops for Tots program may fill out an online application (which will go live on 10/21/24) or pick up a paper application in the Greer Police Department lobby from October 21-November 25, 2023. (Monday-Friday Only), 8:30am-4:30pm. Completed applications will be accepted through November 25, 2024 only. The program is open to children from birth to twelve years of age and is for children who live in the City of Greer.
Partnerships
The City of Greer Police Department partners with the local community each year to make Christmas a special time for our area children. Here's how you can help:
Donations can be made financially in several ways- by mail (102 S. Main St. Greer, SC 29650), in person at the police department lobby Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM. If you write a check, it should be made out to Greer Cops for Tots.
We accept new, unwrapped toys. We have a bin in our lobby and in several locations in the community.
Send a new, unwrapped to us through Amazon. Just have it delivered to our department no later than Dec. 9.
If you wish to donate, but cannot make it to the bins in our lobby, feel free to send us an Amazon package to our Police Department Location. For a list of donation ideas, click here.
