The Combined Community Services Tools for Schools giveaway is underway at the Kosciusko County Community Fairgrounds and will continue until 4 p.m. today.

Each year the event provides approximately 1,500 children with all of the tools they need to start the school year. From erasers to notebooks and pencil boxes, supplies are provided free of charge to students in Kosciusko County whose parents may not otherwise be able to afford the necessary tools.

Tools for Schools is happening in the Home & Family Arts Building at the Kosciusko County Community Fairgrounds.
