The shelter also has a big ask and is calling on the community for help. The shelter has surpassed its criti- cal capacity for animals and needs to immediately adopt or foster dogs and cats to bring it back to operating levels. When capacity reaches levels that do not meet humane care standards, the shelter is forced to euthanize animals. This is an emergency scenario for the shelter, and it needs the public to help. ADOPT If you are looking to add a pet to your family, please do so now. The shelter has dogs and cats available for adoption to- day in a variety of ages, breeds and sizes. All adoptable animals are fully vaccinat- ed, spayed or neutered, microchipped, and come with resources and support from the shelter for training and care. FOSTER If you are not able to adopt, consider being a foster. Fostering is not a life- time commitment to an animal. You can foster for a week or more. Simply getting animals out and advocating for their adoption within your network is tremen- dously helpful for the shelter population. The shelter equips you with the tools you need, and animals are vaccinated, spayed or neutered and microchipped. SHARE Can’t adopt or foster? Please share these adoptable animals directly with your community of friends and family. Visit www.galvestonhumane.org to view adoptable pets.

Since its humble beginnings as a small bakery on 16th and Church streets that served a few bakery items, cold sandwiches and its famous tomato basil soup, The Sunflower has always drawn a large crowd. In a couple of years, the bakery’s success allowed owners Harry and Lisa Blair to open a restaurant at a second location and offer a fantastic dining experience that matched their delicious breakfasts and lunches. By focusing on dishes they want to eat, the Blairs quickly won over the crowds, and before long, there were long lines of loyal customers waiting to eat at both places. Needing more room, the Blairs combined both businesses in January 2006 at its current location, 512 14th St. The new location brought in even more customers drawn by The Sunflower’s unique food and excellent service. Tragedy struck in September 2008 when Hurricane Ike destroyed the restaurant, right down to the last spoon. Refusing to be bested, the Blairs rebuilt the restaurant in record time and reopened four months later to record crowds and excellent reviews. The secret to the Blairs’ success is that they are chefs first. They focus on making fantastic food as well as creating a delightful experience for their customers. Whether it is for coffee and a dessert, breakfast or brunch, lunch or catering, The Sunflower delivers world-class quality and flavor in every bite.

Its focus is on making great coffee, building a posi- tive and supportive work culture, and creating a warm, welcoming place for all who enter. The team at MOD Coffeehouse consists of baristas, bakers, managers, parents, students, artists, musicians, writers and community organizers. They create art, pursue various ed- ucations, make music, support their families, and seek balance and health in their own lives. Over the years, they have built careers as baristas, entrepreneurs, pastry chefs, lawyers, doctors, office administrators, market- ing professionals and beyond. MOD Coffeehouse was founded in 2001 by the Brown family: Angela, Craig and their son, Matthew. They wanted to breathe new life into down- town Galveston by providing a space where community could gather. They restored the Pix Building and provided beautiful outside seating to encourage development on Postoffice Street. The name MOD comes from the Brown family’s desire to bring something more modern, yet full of charm and warmth, to historic downtown Galveston. MOD was damaged heavily by Hurricane Ike in 2008, sustaining more than 9 feet of water. Following the storm, the Browns decided they wanted to see MOD remain open but were ready to transition the business to new owners. MOD reopened with the help and support of the Galveston community on May 15, 2009. Holly Hopkins became steward of MOD in 2010 and continues to honor the founding vision, values and traditions.

WINWOOD MELISSA KAY WINWOOD “We have the best customers in the world! Thank you to all who voted for us.” www.WinwoodMotorCompany.com September 2022 | Readers’ Choice Winners | The Daily News | 29 I n early 2000, Albert Winwood looked around the Santa Fe-Hitch- cock area and saw the need for a towing company that would provide timely reliable service in the commu- nity. Albert wanted to build a well-re- spected towing company fashioned after the example of his friends Vincent and Jasper Liggio in Dickinson. Since April 2000, Winwood Motor Company has provided safe, reliable, friendly service to residents and companies in the Santa Fe-Hitchcock community and surrounding areas. Albert and his wife, Kay, know the meaning of service to the communi- ty. They both volunteered with Algoa Volunteer Fire Department and subse- quently Santa Fe Fire and Rescue for decades. Albert served the community for 37 years and Kay for 20 years. That sense of giving to the community and taking care of people and their families is reflected day to day in their business. Winwood Motor Company has been a family affair through the years. Albert and Kay are blessed to have five children — Tammi Hensley, Mark Hallows, Amber Hallows, Clint Winwood and Georgia Winwood — who all have been raised in the Santa Fe community. They also have 12 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Through the years, each and every one of the children, some of their spouses, as well as some of the grandchildren have helped out and worked for the company. It has truly been a family business. Upon finding out the company won the Readers’ Choice Award for Best Towing Company, Kay said: “We have the best customers in the world! Thank you to all who voted for Winwood Mo- tor Company for best Towing Compa- ny and for allowing us to continue to serve your towing needs.” WINWOOD MOTOR COMPANY BEST TOWING COMPANY MARTY’S CITY AUTO & TOWING SERVICETONY & BROS TOWING AND REPAIR N o trip to the beach is com- plete without a stop at Salt Water Gift Shop.
