A tradition held since 1927, the Warsaw Rotary Club is currently taking toy donations for its 97th Annual "Rotary Toy Day" at The Salvation Army Angel Tree located at the Warsaw Walmart Supercenter. This year's collection is being held to support gifts to veterans families by American Legion Post 49 in Warsaw, in cooperation with The Salvation Army.
The Warsaw Rotary Club will be holding its 97th Annual "Rotary Toy Day" this Thursday, Dec. 5, at their club meeting for the outreach of The Salvation Army in Kosciusko County.
The club's first toy day was held in 1927 when the club met at the Hotel Hays and gathered gifts during their club meeting. This year's collection is being held to support gifts to veterans families by American Legion Post 49 in Warsaw, in cooperation with The Salvation Army. Toy donations for the event can be dropped off at The Salvation Army Angel Tree, located at the Warsaw Walmart Supercenter near the Inside Home & Pharmacy Door. Donors should place gifts in a bag with "veteran" clearly marked on it and given by Dec. 15.
"The Salvation Army appreciates the Warsaw Rotary Club and their support of our mission over the years. We are excited to partner with American Legion Post 49 in serving veterans in our county as well," Salvation Army of Warsaw Corps Administrator Envoy Ken Locke said.
