Telecommunications Company Helps Indiana Animal Hospital in Need

A veterinary hospital in southern Indiana recently reached out to the public for help, and one telecommunications company was quick to respond.

I'm no veterinarian or animal expert by any means, but what I do know is that running an animal hospital is not always easy. Earlier this week, the Washington Veterinary Hospital, LLC, located in Washington, Indiana, found itself in need of some outside assistance. The hospital posted on social media asking for towel donations, an item frequently used throughout the facility.

"We are in need of towels here at Washington Vet Hospital. If anyone has any old towels they would like to part with, we would be happy to take them off your hands," the social media post read. "We currently are overloaded with blankets and hand towels. So we humbly ask for only body sized towels. We use them every day in surgery. If you have none to give, please share in hopes someone else may have some we can have. Thank you in advance for your help!"

The community was quick to respond, with several folks stepping up to make donations. Additionally, the telecommunications company Rural Telephone Corporation (RTC) contributed by dropping off tote bags full of body-sized towels.

As of Wednesday, October 23, the hospital is still accepting donations. If you have some towels you would like to drop off, I’m sure they would be more than happy to take them off your hands. The Washington Veterinary Hospital is located at 209 SE 3rd St. in Washington.

Everyday items that our pets love more than their expensive toys

We spend a fortune on brand new toys for our pets. Chances are that they will completely destroy those at some point. But before that destruction happens, there are some normal, everyday items that we have in our homes that our pets would rather play with. The best thing...these "toys" are usually way less expensive.

Indiana Goodwill Stores Will Not Accept These 24 Items

So much of what we accumulate, we don't really use. Some of the stuff that is cluttering up our closets, basements, spare bedrooms, and garages is in good condition and can easily be used by someone else.

Other items that have simply worn out or broken need to be cleaned out or replaced, too. But, Goodwill is not the place for those items.

Here is what Goodwill says about items that they can't and won't take.
