We are incredibly grateful to the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club for their continued support of The Sanctuary at Red Bell Run. Their generosity helps us provide lifelong care to the special equines who call the Sanctuary home. Thank you, TRHC, for believing in the work we do!❤️

Another delivery was made to a Charity II beneficiary: The Sanctuary at Red Bell Run- Founder Mary Adams. We love being able to support our local community.

We were happy to help! This couldn't have happened without the generosity of the Roberts Family. If you can spare a few hours to help Campbell Farm Animal Sanctuary finish up the stalls before winter it will be much appreciated! They need to have the barn ready before winter comes.

We cannot say enough about our Spruce Pine team. They have worked tirelessly for Western North Carolina, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. If you are still in need of assistance, contact Fleet of Angels or Red Bell Run. While the hay banks are closing down, we'll do our best to assist you where possible.

That’s a Wrap — Spruce Pine Satellite Hay Bank Comes to an End!

Thank you to everyone who supported this mission. To all of our donors who contributed, and to every volunteer who committed their time and energy — we are deeply grateful.

It has been an honor to serve our local farmers and support our community through this effort.

We’re thrilled to celebrate the incredible dedication of one of our own: Barbara Wilder, who has been honored with induction into the Second Wind Hall of Fame!

Since 2022, Barbara has poured her energy and heart into volunteering at our Hee Haw Hideaway barn, logging over 1,000 hours to date! Her steadfast presence and tireless support have made such a difference to our sanctuary, especially her Hee Haw crew.

Barbara, you embody compassion in action. Thank you for every hour you’ve given, every animal you've cared for, and every moment you’ve shown up for our mission. This honor is so well deserved!

- with gratitude from all of us at The Sanctuary at Red Bell Run!
