GRANTS BENEFIT ANIMALS
Our community’s concern and caring for others even extends to its creatures. Glynn County Animal Control and No Kill Glynn County recently received grants from the Raymond and Elizabeth Baumel and Abernathy Fund for Animal Welfare, an endowed fund of the Communities of Coastal Georgia Foundation. These funds are to be used for costs associated with the care, feeding, medical attention and sheltering of stray and unwanted dogs in Glynn County. Glynn County Animal Control will use these funds to cover the monthly flea and tick preventative for dogs in their care for the next 12 months. No Kill Glynn County will use these funds to cover emergent medical needs and necessary transport among facilities. For more information about the Foundation, visit coastalgeorgiafoundation.org.

MATTRESS MISSION CONTINUES
Operation Bed Spread is still at work helping others with your donations. Formed on the belief that every child deserves a good night’s sleep, this local nonprofit organization collects and delivers beds to families and agencies in need of beds for children. To date, they have delivered more than 1200 beds. Mattresses that are donated are cleaned and sanitized by ServiceMaster by A1. And money donated is used to cover the costs of transportation and purchase mattresses when available. You can help support this continuing ministry by attending the annual Back-to-School Bedlam fundraiser at Brogen’s South on Sunday, August 22 at 2:30 p.m. There will be live music by local band Idle Hands, Happy Hour pricing on beer and wine, and all-you-can-eat wings. Tickets are $25 payable at the door.
