Barclay Public Library

We're excited to partner with Warrensburg-Latham Lions Club for their toy drive again this year!

It's time for the annual Warrensburg-Latham Lions Club Toy Drive!

Help us spread the magic of Christmas and make the holidays brighter for children and families right here in our community.

We're collecting new, unwrapped gifts for children of all ages, with the greatest need for ages 10–17. Let's make sure our teens aren't forgotten this Christmas.

Drop-off locations:
Barclay Public Library | Warrensburg Village Hall | Bank of Latham | Warrensburg Dollar General

Please donate by December 12.

Every gift makes a difference!. Let's come together and make this year's toy drive a huge success.

For more information, contact Pat Bales at (217) 855-4700.
