Lauren Anema’s “Care for Animals and They Will Care For You” project has done wonders for this community. Because of her persistence and hard work, she’s received a large amount of donations, including pet food, animal bedding, treats, toys and lots more. “The animal connection drive will benefit abused and abandoned animals in our area,” she said, “while bringing our community together to help these animals. All donations were given to (the Southside) SPCA.” Anema’s efforts were successful, evidenced in the long list of businesses, organizations and entities she’s thanked for their generosity. We commend Anema for her hard work on her Girl Scout project, setting the standard for other young people in this community.
