Spring Fundraiser
Our vision of sharing God’s love in the community is through our adaptive horsemanship programs and day retreats. We serve individuals with special needs and those going through grief. We have a unique calling and see God’s hand in the work and relationships at the Ranch every day. We recently brought on two new horses and need help with sponsors as we continue to expand our programs and be sustainable. Riverside Ranch does not exist without our donors!
We are finishing up our Spring Adaptive Horsemanship session that served 6 participants with 6 sessions each learning adaptive horsemanship skills, how to tack a horse, adaptive riding, team work, and building relationships with each other and our horses. God is truly changing the lives of our participants and our volunteers too.
This summer we will offer a summer camp day retreat that we are very excited about for individuals with special needs and those going through grief. We will offer a grief group for children and their parent/caregiver as well.
God has made each of us unique and we celebrate that. He is close to those grieving and broken hearted. God’s love and glory are on display at the Ranch through His creation and His people. As we grow our needs continue to grow. We are in need of more monthly community partners that will support our mission and financially commit to give monthly or a one-time gift. We also need horse sponsors at all different levels each month to cover the cost of care for our 4 horses Bullet, Beau, Benny and Bear. Yes all Bs J
Would you partner with us to allow us to continue our God given vision and mission to show God’s love to the community? We pray for God to prepare hearts in advance of receiving this letter. We are looking forward to seeing how He raises this money.
