KS Bank is calling on customers and community members to lend a helping paw to animals in need through its Pet Supply Donation Drive.

The drive will benefit animal shelters across Johnston, Wilson, Wayne, Wake, Harnett and Nash counties, helping provide everyday necessities for dogs, cats and other animals waiting for their forever homes.

Community members can donate pet food, treats, toys, bedding, towels, cleaning supplies and other pet essentials at any KS Bank branch during regular business hours through Friday, September 25.

The effort is designed to help local shelters provide care and comfort to animals while they await adoption. By bringing together customers, employees and residents, KS Bank hopes to help shelters meet some of their ongoing supply needs.

“We are proud to support the organizations that care for animals in need throughout our communities,” said Haley Daughtry, KS Bank Marketing Manager.

For Johnston County residents looking for a simple way to make a difference, the drive offers an opportunity to pick up an extra bag of food, a few toys or other supplies and help a local shelter animal along the way.
