Bennion Deville Homes agents throughout the Greater Palm Springs Area helped brighten the spirits of their fellow residents this holiday season with a massive toy drive. Spanning from Palm Springs to Indio, the toy drive, benefitting Toys For Tots and Coachella Valley Rescue Mission (CVRM), collected boxes filled with unwrapped, brand new toys for local area kids to open on Christmas this year. All toy donations stay within the Riverside County area, with the majority going to local families in the Coachella Valley.

All Bennion Deville Homes offices throughout the Southern California desert participated in the donation drive. In addition, Bennion Deville Homes agents placed their collection bins throughout the Coachella Valley to help champion the cause. In all, the offices donated 40 full boxes of brand new, unwrapped toys, 4 bikes, and 2 scooters, to the Marines at 29 Palms and CVRM.

“The toy drive is an annual tradition and something that agents, staff, and clients look forward to participating in each year,” says Managing Broker George Baca, who coordinated the donation drive efforts. “We are proud of our agents for stepping up and doing everything they can to make sure local kids have a new toy to open under their tree. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our toy drive and to the Marines at 29 Palms and Coachella Valley Rescue Mission for brightening children’s holiday spirits each Christmas morning.”

“We are proud of our offices for organizing another successful toy donation campaign,” says Bob Deville, Co-Founder of Bennion Deville Homes. “Our agents, staff, and clients were extra generous this year when giving to those in need this holiday season by setting a new company record for toy collection boxes donated. We would like to thank everyone who donated and to our community partners for helping us make this an exceptional year for donations. Giving to others and holding out a helping hand is always in season, even beyond the holidays, and this time of year offers a reminder to pause and reflect on what’s truly important.”
