#SipSavorSupport<\/h1>\n

Townsend, Tennessee is our home, and Gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We don\u2019t take for granted how spectacular our mountain home is \u2013 and understand that it must be protected, preserved, and supported. At Peaceful Side Social, we have made the preservation + education of the Peaceful Side an integral part of who we are.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we encourage our visitors to join us in finding the joy in giving back to our Smoky Mountain Community \u2013 a good feeling, knowing that with each visit to Peaceful Side Social you\u2019re giving back to the Smokies, it\u2019s waterways and the Townsend Community! \u00a0 With each purchase at PSS \u2013 we support these important initiatives together.<\/p>\n

How it works:<\/span><\/p>\n

You contribute through the inclusion of an automatic half percent addition to your purchase.\u00a0 We will then match every single half percent donation made through the whole year.\u00a0 This small yet powerful move on your part will spur a large donation on our part, all contributing to a truly significant impact to local charities doing great work in protecting and preserving.<\/p>\n
