The CHiPs for Kids Toy Drive has helped families throughout California for more than 25 years and this will be the seventh year for this event in Kern County.
The California Highway Patrol, along with other local organizations and businesses, said they look forward to this event, giving less fortunate kids in Kern County something to smile about during the holiday season.
The toy drive begins Wednesday, November 16, 2016 and end Friday, December 16, 2016.

On Wednesday, December 7, 2016 CHP will be downtown at the Bakersfield Californian, on the corner of 18th and H street, from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for a toy drop off event. Drop off your new unwrapped toy and be on your way in no time.
