Donnie Hillis sorts toys Monday night at the Rescue Squad building on Sparta Street. Hillis says the annual Toy Drive has been a tradition at the Rescue Squad his entire 50 years as a member.
There was a time when some children in Warren County had to wake up on Christmas morning and find nothing under the tree.Thanks to the annual Rescue Squad Toy Drive, those times have been gone for 50 years.“It takes a lot of church groups, community groups, the bikers with their Toy Ride, and people making donations for this to happen,” said Rescue Squad director Chad Hillis. “Without this, some kids wouldn’t have much. Last year was the first year where every child received new toys and that’s our goal this year too.”There are 505 children on the list to receive toys this year.
