War Amps Key Tag Service celebrating 75th year

The War Amps annual Key Tag Service is celebrating its 75th year in 2021.

In a recent release, the War Amps notes that not only has the popular service been reuniting people with lost keys for 75 years, it has also been making significant impacts in the lives of amputees. Over 1.5 million sets of keys have been returned to their owners to date as a result of the program, and although the service is free, donations over the years enable the Association to operate its many programs for amputees, including veterans and children. The War Amps 2021 key tags are being mailed to Southwestern Ontario residents next week.

The War Amps states in the release that the donations that they receive every year are life changing for amputees across Canada.
