“Our mission is to help people who are poor or needy to return to self-sufficiency with God’s help and the support of the community. This is the great support part that we get from you guys, and we love it. During the holiday period, we’ll feed over 10,000 meals. There are a lot of people who come on Thanksgiving and at Christmas that these funds will help us feed in the area. They’ll help us make it so that people can stay here and get their lives back together. We’re just so grateful for all the support,” said Jim Benton, Executive Director of the Carthage Crisis Center.

“Any donations we get go toward food, electricity bills, water bills, toys, bedding, vaccines, medical supplies, vet bills, cleaning supplies, etc. Anything the animals need, it goes directly to them and the everyday things that we require all the time. We cannot have enough of it, so even if we get a truck load of supply, we’ll need more,” said Katie Logan, Humane Society Executive Director.
For those in the community who would like to contribute, specific items the Humane Society asks for include wet and dry dog and cat food, dog food containers, non-spill metal dog and cat bowls, peanut butter and hot dogs for dogs that are hard to give meds to, cat litter, toys like KONG and Nylabones, Kuranda beds, towels, blankets, Dawn dish soap, Fabuloso, bleach, laundry detergent, gloves, squeegees, scrub brushes, toilet paper, paper towels, 2ml or stronger 13 and 42 gallon trash bags, trash cans, and scoopers.
