Last chance to request Christmas assistance: Toys for Tots phone line shuts off Thursday

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.-The Toys for Tots organization wants you to know you only have until this Thursday to request assistance. 

The phone will turn off for the season Thursday at 7 p.m. Those that need Christmas help in Warren County must call 270-562-0518 between today (Monday) and Thursday. 

Donation boxes around Warren County will also be removed from locations on Thursday, but if you still want to donate you can! Donations are welcome at any Bowling Green Fire Department up until Christmas Eve. 

If you are going to be calling the number for Christmas assistance, there’s some information you will have to give the volunteer over the phone.

“Our telephone volunteer will ask if they reside in Warren County, if they have an ID, if they have birth certificates or custody papers for the children they’re requesting toys for, and we serve children ages 0-12. If they meet all those criteria, we’ll give them a pickup day and time and a ticket number,” said Toys for Tots coordinator Janel Doyle. 

This Saturday is also the final distribution day for Warren County.
