November First Friday Is All About ‘Thanks,’ Giving BackFirst Friday Warsaw will host a Fill the Truck/Thanks-for-Giving Block Party from 5 to 9 p.m. Nov. 6 downtown Warsaw.
The community is invited to help fill a city dump truck with donations to help stock Combined Community Services and The Salvation Army. Bring nonperishable food items, cleaning supplies, men and women’s toiletries and/or cash donations to the Courthouse Square between 5 and 9 p.m. Individuals who bring donations will be eligible to participate in a RelicRaid for free and a chance to win $200.
