A food drive for the animals at Gress Mountain Ranch will begin on Sunday, January 31, and end at 1 PM on Sunday, February 14. Donations can be left outside Asbury’s upper level doors anytime throughout those weeks.

Currently about 90 animals, including dogs, cats, pigs, horses, donkeys, ponies, alpacas, llamas, ducks, parrots and peacocks, are in need of food.
