Give a toy, meet a hero

Toys for Tots is gearing up for its annual "Hand It To A Hero" toy drive that will take place on from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.  Saturday, November 24, at Walmart on Campbell Lane.

This event has local heroes from the Warren County Regional Jail, Warren County Sheriff’s Office, Bowling Green Police Department, Bowling Green Fire Department, WKU Police Department, Kentucky State Police and the Marine Corps League and Recruiters on site to collect new toys which will then be given to children who might not otherwise receive gifts this holiday season.

Last year, thousands of toys were collected at this event and as a result 6,223 children received gifts through this toy drive and the generosity of the community.
