Rescue mission hosts annual toy giveaway
More than 5000 children were expected at the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission for its annual Toy Giveaway Friday.
This event will distribute approximately 15,000 toys to children in need around the Coachella Valley and will include a random giveaway of bicycles.
Santa and Mrs. Claus have once again agreed to take time out of their busy holiday schedule to greet the children at the door.
They will be assisted by Santa’s elves, which will be busy handing out candy canes to the kids in line.
To make the Annual Toy Giveaway a success, CVRM staff says it still needs new unwrapped toys for boys and girls from infant to pre-teen.
Dolls, books, games, skateboards, sports equipment, balls, action figures, Legos, cars, trucks, and Barbies are some of the favorites.
Drop off your toys here: 47-470 Van Buren St. Indio, CA 92201.
The Toy Giveaway begins at 7 a.m.
