McKamey Animal Center says thank you SO much for all of the towels and sheets and blankets you donated for the hundreds of animals who are living at the shelter. Now McKamey would like to ask for dog treats and dog toys. If you can help at all, drop by anytime and put your items in their outside collection bins. McKamey goes through hundreds of dog treats each day. They are located on North Access Road just off Hixson Pike.

Can you donate a new fan to the Salvation Army, to help keep some of your neighbors a little cooler this Summer, because many thousands of families in Tennessee don’t have air conditioning. The “Beat The Heat Program” is underway, and they are asking for new fans, by June 3rd. Drop off your donation at 800 McCallie Avenue at the Salvation Army Headquarters.
