On Wednesday, March 5, Maranatha Farm Animal Rescue arrived at the Beaufort County Animal Shelter to take some food. Then later in the day, food was taken to the Tabby House in Beaufort and the Hilton Head Humane Association for their feral cat program.

The Facebook competition was sponsored by Doggiefood.com and Nature’s Variety.
