WARSAW — The Beaman Home has received 24 books paired with plush bears as well as a small library of children’s and teen books from an Usborne Books & More Book drive facilitated by Independent Consultant Jamie Rensberger.

Many businesses and people from the community have donated to sponsor a child. The book and bear plush toys will be given to children to keep when they come through Beaman Home programs, while the small library was donated by Usborne Books & More for the Beaman Home to use while children stay there. Thank you to all the generous contributing businesses: First Source Bank, its trustees and employees on Center Street; Pottery Bayou; JB’s Furniture. Thank you also to the members of the community who sponsored a child.
