Why your support, donations and volunteering matters!!

The children need us to show up — to be present, to point them toward Hope and Love, to show them who created them and remind them that they were made on purpose, for a purpose.

There have been days — if I’m honest, a lot of days — when I’ve felt like giving up on Living Hope Youth Ranch. Days when selfishness creeps in. Days when it feels like everything rests on my husband’s shoulders and mine alone. Days when it seems like there is no help coming.

But I’ve learned — over the years, and especially this last year — that those thoughts are lies from the enemy. He wants us to quit. He wants us to believe we can’t do it. He wants the weight to feel unbearable.

And the truth is — we can’t do it alone.

But we were never meant to.

We have a choice. We can listen to the lies (which are always louder), or we can listen to God.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” — Philippians 4:13

“May He equip you with all you need for doing His will… through the power of Jesus Christ.” — Hebrews 13:21

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we

Matthew 9:37 He (Jesus) said to his disciples, "The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So we pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into the fields."
This is so true, especially with Living Hope Youth Ranch. We need more greeter, volunteers, session leaders and could use more board members.
Please join us in praying for more workers.

Dear Friends of Living Hope Youth Ranch,

As we wrap up our 5th full season since opening our gates in September 2019, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. This year alone, 34 kids participated in sessions at the ranch under the guidance of five dedicated session leaders—our best and smoothest year yet! We’re continually amazed at how God uses this ranch to touch lives and strengthen our community.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to share our next step: completing the covered round pen. This addition will allow us to continue sessions year-round, even through Oregon’s wet winters. This fall, we’re focusing on:
• Installing proper footing
• Building drainage systems
• Hiring a company to raise the trusses
Once complete, this will make a lasting difference for every child and family we serve.
Because we never charge children to participate, we rely entirely on the generosity of individuals and businesses like you to make this possible. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all donations are tax-deductible.
If you’d like to help us bring this vision to life, here’s how you can give:
• Venmo:
• US Bank Donation Account: Living Hope Youth Ranch Donation account
• Checks: Mail to Living Hope Youth Ranch, 59201 Sword Place, Vernonia, OR 97064
• Cash: Bring it by the ranch
Every gift—no matter the size—helps us serve kids and families in our community and beyond.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who supports Living Hope Youth Ranch through financial gifts, donated items, or by attending our events. We cherish your partnership and couldn’t do this without you.

Together, we are making a difference for our children—the future.

Thank you to everyone who donated items for our yard sale this year and thank you to everyone who came by and support the yard sale by buying some stuff and donating. This year we made $1671 which is the most we've ever made. Each year we do this yard sale to help pay for the yearly insurance and we were less than $200 away for making that goal. If I sell the items I have listed, we will reach that goal!
