Glendale, CA - The Glendale Police Officers’ Association “Cops for Kids” Program is preparing for its annual holiday toy distribution on Thursday, December 14, 2017. Mayor Vartan Gharpetian, Chief Robert Castro and members of the Glendale Police Department, will be delivering car loads of gifts to 27 families in the City of Glendale.

The “Cops for Kids” Program targets the needs of the community’s underprivileged, disabled, hospitalized and at-risk children, as well as those who are victims of accidents and/or crimes. Every year, members of the Glendale Police Department adopt families during the holidays, providing Christmas trees, gifts, and holiday meals. The Glendale Police Officers’ Association has distributed over 20,000 toys to children throughout the community as a result of the generosity from Glendale citizens and businesses.

 The Glendale “Cops for Kids” Program is a registered non-profit 501(c) (3) that relies on the generosity of extraordinary citizens and corporations. Monetary donations can be made out to “Cops for Kids” and mailed to P.O. Box 245, Glendale, California 91209.
