🚨 MISSING DOG – PLEASE HELP! 🚨

We’re sharing this on behalf of Jennifer Timmons, whose beloved dog went missing in the Paxville Road area.

This sweet gray French bulldog, pictured below wearing a pink bow tie, is dearly missed by her family. If you’ve seen her or have any information, please call 803-825-1850 or 803-410-1579.

Please share to help bring her home safely! 💕

🔥 Cookin’ for Kaliah is underway! 🔥

The grills are fired up and the Manning community is showing up in a big way to support eighth grader Kaliah Franklin and her family as she battles osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer.

BBQ plates and sandwiches are being sold until 2 p.m. today at the Manning High School Ag shop — all proceeds go directly to help Kaliah’s family with travel and medical expenses as she continues treatment.

💛 Thank you to Coach Haynes, Manning FFA, The Matrix Center, and everyone who’s pitching in to make today a success.

💛 Clarendon County showed up big last week!

On Friday, the Clarendon Can! Food Drive delivered dozens of bags of food to three local pantries.

Schools, churches, and community groups also held drives to help restock shelves and support families in need. United Way volunteers and Cummins, Inc. employees joined in with a major delivery to Vision by Design, and the Open House of Prayer and Deliverance Ministries held a Harvest Hope food giveaway at K&H Resource Center, which served more than 200 families. Mayor Keith Bowman and Councilman Gavin Allen joined the food giveaway and spent the afternoon handing out bags of sweet potatoes to local residents.

Food drives are still underway, and donations continue to come in across the county. We’d love to keep this momentum going through November — and we know Clarendon County can do it. 🥫✨

📍 Drop-off locations for Clarendon Can! are in the comments as well as flyers for other drives.
