Riverside’s Cops for Kids toy drive now underway

The Air Support Units of Riverside Police, Riverside County Sheriff, and San Bernardino County Sheriff have launched their yearly toy drive to support the 24th Annual “Cops For Kids Fly-In.” Donated toys will be delivered and distributed to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital during the fly-in event on Wednesday, Nov. 6, to bring joy to children undergoing treatment.

Here’s how can you help:

In-Person Donation: Purchase a toy at a local store and drop it in a donation box located at any Riverside Police Department station lobby.

Online Donation: Buy a toy from online vendors like Amazon, Target, or Walmart, and have it shipped directly to one of the three RPD stations. Be sure to label it “COPS FOR KIDS.”
