WinSouth Credit Union's Etowah County Branches have placed donation jars at the teller windows. The goal is to gather funds to support Huckaby's Hope for Paws veterinary expenses. If you happen to stop by any of our branches, kindly think about donating your spare change to these jars. Every donation, no matter the amount, can make a meaningful impact! Huckaby's Hope for Paws is a local non-profit organization committed to nurturing animals in need and providing them with the care and affection they deserve while seeking their forever homes. Many of these animals have been mistreated, are unwell, or injured, often requiring surgeries and extended care before they can be adopted. Your contributions enable them to continue aiding these vulnerable animals.

As the school year approaches, here are some useful tips for saving on back-to-school expenses!

1. Create a back-to-school shopping list and create a budget to avoid over spending.
- Planning ahead by creating a list and setting a budget can help you stay on track with your spending and prevent impulse purchases.

2. Take inventory of what you have and what you will need.
- Checking what items you already have can prevent you from buying duplicates and ensure you only purchase what is necessary.

3. Take advantage of sales, discounts, and coupons when buying school supplies and clothing.
- Keeping an eye out for sales and discounts can help you save money on essential items for the new school year.

4. Consider buying second-hand or gently used items to save money.
- Purchasing second-hand items can be a cost-effective way to get quality school supplies and clothing at a lower price.

5. Reward yourself with the WinSouth Visa® Rewards Credit Card.
- Using a rewards credit card like the WinSouth Visa® can help you earn points that can be redeemed for merchandise, travel, entertainment, or cash back to your credit card giving you a little extra incentive to shop wisely.
