The carnival will be held Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Salvation Army Church, 501 E. Arthur St., Warsaw.
Lunch will be provided on-site at the church.
"The carnival was created in 2005 to assist youth and families in the community in coping with rising cost of educational expenses," said Eric Wagoner, director of youth ministries and Christian outreach for the Salvation Army.
Last year, 99 local youth were provided with school supplies during the carnival.
"The beauty of this event is that local youth and families have the opportunity to come out and have a blast while they receive the school supplies they need throughout the year," Wagoner said.
In addition to school supplies, a drawing will take place for two dirt bikes and various other prizes.
The school supplies are purchased through funds from the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary.
People who wish to donate school supplies or money may do so at the Salvation Army.[[In-content Ad]]
