The pandemic has put an emphasis food needs for residents, even four-legged ones. As a result, local animal advocates have come together to create a pet food pantry to help owners who find themselves unable to purchase pet food. 

PAWS Shelter Foundation spokesperson Diane Shoffner says Helping Hand of Hope will be the distribution center for the pet pantry. Members of the community can drop off food at the following locations:

• Feeders Supply, Elizabethtown
• Sam Russell’s Pet Provisions, Elizabethtown
• Lost Pounds Pet Center, Radcliff
• Family Dollar, Vine Grove

While nothing is official yet, members of the Elizabethtown Board of Education talked about more in-person return options during last night’s work session. Superintendent Kelli Bush presented the board with various statistics and data points, showing a large number of surveyed families, over 75%, feel it is important for students to return to a somewhat full time schedule of in-person instruction. Bush says that a plan for return will be discussed with faculty and staff in the days to come before a final determination is made.
