SONOMA COUNTY (BCN) -- The California Highway Patrol's Santa Rosa office is collecting new, unwrapped toys for children between 1 and 12 years old.
The toys can be dropped off at the CHP's office at 6100 Labath Ave. in Rohnert Park.
The CHP will collect toys at the Kmart store in Petaluma and hold a free child safety seat inspection on Friday.
"The 'ChiP's for Kids' program is something we do every year," Capt. Kelly Young said.
"With so many in our Sonoma County community feeling the strain of the economy this year, we want to double our efforts to see that kids especially are not left behind during the holidays," Young said.
