HAW RIVER, N.C. (WGHP) — Farmers in western North Carolina are rebuilding their property, but once the walls, fences and buildings are back, in many cases, some of their animals are still missing.
Alamance County farmer Laura Ridge wanted to help out and restock their flocks. Her idea is to start small, grow over time and keep going for years during the rebuilding process.
In Haw River, Laura and her dad built a new chicken coop to house the birds that are donated. As she finds families in need, they will go off to live in Western North Carolina.
