On Sunday, December 7th from 3-6pm, inspirational high school student Maranda Phillips hosted her 8th annual “Howliday in a Bottle” open house to benefit FACE!

This year’s Howliday in a Bottle boasted an array of fun holiday shopping opportunities, from candles to clothing to unique jewelry items. Of course, Maranda’s beautiful, decorative holiday bottles took center stage. Each handmade bottle features glowing lights with festive accents for a decorative personal touch. Proceeds benefited local pets in need of life-saving veterinary care.

When asked why she dedicates her time and talents to FACE, Maranda explains, “I thought about how terrible it would be if [my dog] Missy got hurt and we couldn’t afford it…she’s like a sister to me. I would be really grateful if someone donated money to save her.”

Maranda also serves as the Honorary Youth Chair for FACE’s annual Bags & Baubles event, held every April. FACE is incredibly grateful to Maranda for her dedication to the animals in our community!
