On Friday, KESQ News Channel 3 will be live from Mathis Home (formerly known as Mathis Brothers Furniture) in Indio for the annual California Highway Patrol “CHiPs For Kids” Toy Drive.
California Highway Patrol officers will be collecting toy donations for its annual collection of toys for children in need around the Coachella Valley.
Toys you can donate include:
- Sporting items
- Hygiene items for preteens: body wash/spray combos
- Dolls, toy cars, learning games, or board games.
- Any toy for children up to 18 years old.

If you cannot make it to the toy drive Friday, it is not too late to donate.
Anyone wishing to donate a new, unwrapped toy can do so at any Walgreens in the Coachella Valley, Mathis Brothers in Indio, or the Indio CHP Office through December 20.
