It was another successful year for Combined Community Services’ annual Tools for School event at the Kosciusko County Fairgrounds.
It was held on Thursday where families could bring their kids out to get their school supplies for the year, check out some community information and some kids took advantage of a free haircut. Director of Emergency Services Tim Frame said the event is to make sure kids get back into school comfortably:
Frame said they were hoping to serve about 1,200 kids. Supplies were donated by several area stores such as Meijer, who gave $31,000 worth of school supplies, the Warsaw Breakfast Optimist Club donated over 860 backpacks, and Teachers Credit Union donated funds to be used for gym uniforms.
