Newton Hy-Vee employees are putting their best feet (and paws) forward this month to help generate financial support for the Jasper County Animal Rescue League and Humane Society.

The “Paws for a Cause” campaign is being conducted now through Oct. 14, to coincide with Hy-Vee’s companywide “Big Pet Sale” promotion.

During the two-week campaign, Newton Hy-Vee cashiers will be selling paper “paws” at the register for $1 customer donation, all of which will go directly to benefit JCARL’s general operating expenses.
