How To Help

Become a Collection Site

In mid-October, Christmas Cops program volunteers visit your location to provide you with printed collection boxes, informational brochures, and colorful posters. Your customers and employees fill the boxes with donated items and in mid-December, our volunteers return to collect the now full collection boxes. All you need do to start the process is let us know you are interested by completing our Collection Site Form. Meanwhile, we invite you to visit our Collection Site Locations page for more information.

Host an Item Drive

Your organization, business, or civic / neighborhood group will target some of our most needed items such as batteries, diapers / wipes, formula, coats, bicycles, etc. Let us know that you are interested in hosting an item drive when you complete a Contact Us form.

Host an Angel Tree

Add an Angel Tree display to your business’ holiday decorations this year. Christmas Cops volunteers will visit your location to provide you with a list of Angels and items each child has requested, printed collection boxes, information brochures, and posters. Your customers and employees will choose an Angel Card from the display and donate items for that specific child. In mid-December, our volunteers will return to collect all donated items. All you need do to start the process is let us know you are interested in becoming an Angel Tree location by completing our Contact Us form.

Make a Monetary Donation

Donating to the Christmas Cops program has never been easier. We’ve partnered with PayPal to accept a one-time or monthly donation via your credit card or bank account – it’s a free service.
