With the holiday season approaching, several Combined Community Services projects will soon begin with the goal of helping needy families.
Beginning Oct. 24, CCS, 110 E. Prairie St., Warsaw, will have coats of all sizes to give away. No application is needed. Anyone needing a coat to stay warm this winter just needs to stop by and pick up a coat.
Applications for Adopt-A-Family will be taken beginning Nov. 11 at CCS. Applications will be available for choosing a family beginning Nov. 18. If any family, church, club or business wants to adopt a family, stop by the CCS office.
