Charity Spotlight: Help PAWS Help More Pets
Anderson County PAWS is calling on local businesses to step up in a simple but powerful way—and it only takes a little space to make a big difference. 🐾 They’re currently looking for 9 more businesses or locations to host donation boxes for the month of April. These boxes help collect much-needed food and supplies that support both animals in the shelter and pets in the community through their food bank program.
The best part? It’s incredibly easy to participate: That’s it - no heavy lifting, just a chance to make a real impact for animals right here in Anderson. Even better, they’re already starting to line up locations for May, so if April fills up, there’s still an opportunity to get involved.
If your business or one you know would like to support local pets and families, this is a simple and meaningful way to give back.
👉 Reach out to Anderson County PAWS to get involved and help make a difference. |

Tip of The Day |
Start your Easter basket early with the non-candy stuff first. If you build the basket now with books, bubbles, chalk, plushies, and small toys, you can wait until the last minute for candy and snacks. It makes prep easier, helps you avoid rushed shopping, and keeps you from accidentally eating half the jellybeans before Easter Sunday. |
