Write a comment

The Salvation Army in Southern Indiana is excited to partner once again this Christmas with Toys for Tots. Each year, Toys for Tots helps The Salvation Army provide toys for over 3,000 children in Southern Indiana. 

To start the season, Toys for Tots will be hosting a kick-off event on Tuesday, October 1 from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. The event will be held at Mission BBQ - 1213 Veterans Pkwy, Clarksville. All are invited to stop by, make a donation, and learn more about the campaign.

Greeters at the event will be available to receive monetary and/or new toy donations. All proceeds of the event will go towards purchasing toys for children in Southern Indiana.

For those that need Christmas assistance through The Salvation Army Angel Tree program, you may apply online at www.sanewalbany.org. 

Online registration will be available from October 1, 2024, until the program reaches capacity.
