After adopting out 437 animals in 2020, Good Shepherd Humane Society has plans to create new programs to help local animals in 2021.
Cole Wakefield, director of animal operations, said hes working to create a community cat program. The program would be focused in Eureka Springs, Wakefield said, but would expand throughout Carroll County with the goal of building a cat support community. Wakefield said a group of volunteers will help save cats through the trap-and-release program, where feral cats are caught, spayed or neutered and released back into their environment.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic started early this year, local foods banks have served Carroll County residents in need. Thats one thing that will stay the same going into 2021, several food bank representatives reported.
Flint Street Fellowship
Karen Timm, executive director of Flint Street Fellowship Food Bank in Eureka Springs, said the food bank is still open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday and Wednesday. No one can come into the building to get their food, Timm said, so volunteers hand out food at the front door.
A lot of places have a drive-thru, but we just dont have that ability so folks are coming to the front door, Timm said. Were making sure everyones wearing masks and were doing the distancing. Its been getting busier the last month or so.
