The local program to help give back to kids for the Christmas holiday, Toy Time, had another successful year.

Program organizer Ami Pitt from Combined Community Services says the event helped 404 families and 1,565 kids this year. Pitt said along with the toys, 200 bibles were also given out.

While there were some small changes this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, both the consignment sale and the toy giveaway were able to happen at the Kosciusko County Fairgrounds.
