The Salvation Army's Toy Town program serves families living in Vanderburg and Warrick counties. Each fall, parents sign up to receive Christmas assistance for their children aged 0-18. Generous donations from the community and local businesses make it possible to provide a Toy Town shopping experience for parents where they can choose the perfect gifts for each of their children. 

Anyone not able to attend the Toy Drive on December 5 can still support Toy Town a number of ways:
