Round UP to Support the Haywood Waterways Association at Mast Store Waynesville

For July’s month-long Round UP, Mast Store staff members chose the local nonprofit agency whose work they will promote and encourage guests to support. The selection of an agency is especially significant as many Mast Store associates and managers play active roles in their communities. Their choice is a collective decision as well as a public acknowledgment of the agency’s track record as a difference-maker in their community.

The mission of the 𝗛𝗮𝘆𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is to maintain and improve water quality in the Pigeon River Watershed of Haywood County. Among its important roles of monitoring water cleanliness, restoring streambanks, and educating local students, it also plans expanded summer community cleanups to help neighbors impacted by Hurricane Helene.

All funds raised on the group’s behalf during Mast Store’s Round UP are attributed to the small donations of guests who agree to round their purchases to the next whole dollar. When combined, these pennies, nickels, and dimes go a long way toward making our community a healthier, safer, and more vibrant place.
