WARSAW — The Warsaw Rotary Club will hold its 97th annual “Rotary Toy Day” on Thursday, Dec. 5, at the club meeting for its outreach with The Salvation Army in Kosciusko County.

The first toy day was held in December 1927 when the club met at the Hotel Hays and gathered gifts. 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.

Toys may be dropped off at The Salvation Army Angel Tree located at Walmart Supercenter, 2501 Walton Blvd., Warsaw (inside the Home & Pharmacy door). Donors should place gifts in a bag with “Veteran” clearly marked on it by the deadline of Saturday, Dec. 14.

“The Salvation Army appreciates the Warsaw Rotary Club and their support of our mission over the years,” said Salvation Army Envoy Ken Locke, administrator. “We are excited to partner with American Legion Post 49 in serving veterans in our county as well.”
