Local gun shop collects over 700 toys for CHP’s CHiPs for Kids drive
Guns of Distinction in Palm Desert teamed up with the California Highway Patrol to collect hundreds of toys for children in the Coachella Valley.
CHP Officer Jackie Quintero said the store s manager called the department to let them know that customers had donated over 700 toys.
Storm Jenkins, the owner of Guns of Distinction, said he simply put out an email to his clients and customers asking if they could drop off toys. He said he expected to only fill up one box but they exceeded expectations. I expected we might fill one box of toys, we ended up, as you can see, with something like 700 and we re not even done yet, Jenkins said. The response and the support from the CHP to get this done has been terrific.
