ROANOKE, Va. – Mill Mountain Zoo needs your help as it continues to recover from severe winter storm damage.

The community staple is seeking public donations after recent storms resulted in unforeseen challenges. Due to fallen trees blocking roads and damage within the zoo, it had to close for more than a week, prioritize costly repairs and cut off vital revenue.
