The City of Dunwoody Police Department brings the Dunwoody community together to collect new and unwrapped gifts for deserving Dunwoody children from Newborn to age 15 years old.
The Dunwoody Police Department Christmas for Kids (CFK) program began in 2009 with the goal of bringing our community together to collect new and unwrapped toys and gifts for Dunwoody’s underprivileged children between the ages of Newborn to 15 years old.
Officers work together with I Care Atlanta, Inc and other local sponsors to hold a Christmas celebration at a local facility where Santa and his Elves (along with a toy soldier or two!) arrive to greet deserving kids and their parents and enjoy a festive celebration complete with gifts and activities for the kids as well as snacks for the whole family.
Christmas for Kids is a community effort and is only made possible by the generosity of our citizens, businesses, and other local organizations.
| **2020 UPDATE** |
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has restricted CFK from holding our traditional Christmas celebration, we WILL be collecting and distributing toys and boxed meals to Dunwoody families in need.
CFK REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN to the first 50 kids who qualify. Please contact Ana Varela at I Care Atlanta, Inc for your personal interview and registration application: 678-615-3341. You must show proof of residence inside the City of Dunwoody and provide your own transportation to be eligible for this program.
CFK TOY COLLECTIONS: From 10/16/20 through 12/4/20, we will be collecting new, unwrapped toys and gifts for kids aged 0-15 years old.

For local groups holding their own toy collection drives, you may contact Dunwoody Police for a one-time pick up at your location when ready: 678-382-6906.
