News Release
WARSAW — Combined Community Services (CCS) will host the 30th annual Tools for School event Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lakeview Middle School in Warsaw.
This beloved back-to-school tradition helps ensure that students across Kosciusko County head into the new school year prepared and confident.
The event is open to all students entering kindergarten through 12th grade from any Kosciusko County school.
Families are invited to attend and receive free school supplies, along with access to community resources, free haircuts, and shoes, all available on-site during the event. “We’re thrilled to celebrate 30 years of Tools for School,” said Ami Pitt of Combined Community Services.
“It’s an honor to support students and families in our community as they gear up for the 2025–2026 school year.”
Warsaw Community Schools officials will also be on hand to assist anyone with registration and Parent Square account issues. Translations will also be available.
For those interested in donating, CCS will continue collecting school supplies before and after the event. Monetary donations can be made online by visiting https://ccsgives.com/donate/ and selecting the Tools for School option.

Sponsors and supporters include Warsaw Community Schools, Warsaw Community Church, Indiana Farm Bureau, Meijer, Warsaw Breakfast Optimist Club, Culver’s, Shelley Kuhn Family, Pierceton Masonic Lodge, Eldora Neher Foundation, and the Dr. Liebengood Endowment. We could not do this event without the generous contributions of our partners. Together, we can ensure that every child in Kosciusko County starts the school year with the tools they need to succeed.
