Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Roz Morgan, director of Our Father's House, said she couldn't compare Warsaw to any other community.
"I think we are so blessed to live here," she said.
One example of Warsaw's generosity is how the community responds to "Back To School Saturday," hosted by Our Father's House Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
For the past three years, several families have provided school supplies for children who need them. The families don't ask which school corporation in the county the children come from, they just donate the items. Wal-Mart also has been generous in giving Our Father's House returned merchandise, Morgan said.
On Back To School Saturday, in addition to the donated school supplies, children can "shop" and pick out three outfits provided by Our Father's House. "Shoes, socks, underwear, the whole nine yards," Morgan said. Parents must accompany their children when picking out clothes. Even though the children will be "shopping," there is no cost.
In 2005, more than 400 children took part in the program.
"It never ceases to amaze me the sizes of Warsaw's and Winona Lake's hearts," Morgan said.
