Local Helene Relief Collection


The destruction from Hurricane Helene is unquestionably massive and will forever affect the lives of so many people in the southeast.  In response, Cops Kids and Toys will be collecting monetary and supply donations at the Shops at Ithaca Mall.  THE EFFORT HAS BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL, IT HAS BEEN EXTENDED!

Today (Thursday) you can drop off donations at the donation drop in front of Target, Friday they’ll be in the Cops Kids and Toys storefront by the food court then back in front of Target on Saturday.  Each day you’ll find them from 9AM-3PM collecting money and supplies to send to North Carolina.

Items of greatest need are as follows:

Water

Baby formula

Diapers (baby/toddler/adult)

Individually packaged snacks

Batteries

Trash bags

Bandaids

Toothbrushes/toothpaste

Washcloths/towels

Socks (all sizes/new)

Thank you all for your support and generosity for those affected by the disaster.
