JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ The Jacksonville community is rallying behind an animal rescue farm on the brink of closing due to COVID-19. Veronica Pasciuto, director of Celestial Farms, said the animal rescue needs donations to keep it afloat during the winter months. Thereโs no reserves to hold over any longer.โThe animal rescue farm and education center is home to more than 200 animals.
