CHiPs for Kids toy drive UPDATE: It was only a week ago we started our CHiPS for Kids toy drive and the residents in Tuolumne County have again lived up to their caring and giving reputation. We can’t thank you enough for the toys and gift cards we have collected. Let’s keep the momentum going!!!

CHiPS FOR KIDS TOY DRIVE 2020 Each year the Sonora Area CHP office collects toys benefiting Foster Kids in the Mother Lode. This year has been a difficult year for a lot of kids. We are asking you to help by bringing a new, unwrapped toy to one of our drop off locations. They are accepting donations now through December 18th. If you don’t have the ability to shop for a toy, we are also accepting gift cards or monetary donations . The Sonora CHP is located at 18437 Fifth Avenue in Jamestown. Please contact Officer Steve Machado at (209) 984-3944 for any further questions.

So, you have decided to travel for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Did you know it only takes TWO seconds to buckle up? Those TWO seconds can be the difference between making it to dinner or not. Those TWO seconds can increase your chances of surviving a serious crash by 50 percent. If that doesn’t motivate you then maybe this will. Those TWO seconds can save you a minimum of $142 plus court fees and if you have a child under the age of 16 in the vehicle, their TWO seconds can ...save you a minimum of $465 plus court fees. Please don’t miss that Thanksgiving dinner by not taking TWO seconds to buckle up. Click it or Ticket. CHP Central Division California Office of Traffic Safety
