Trying to make this little silce of NC a better place.
If you know much about small non profits…it’s a whole lot of heart and a whole lot of work! Every donation that comes in encourages us to keep going. Every dollar literally matters. The small nonprofits start with a vision and dream and after work, sweat and tears it becomes a reality. It took people saying yes before a program existed or a facility was built. Faith in God, Faith in People and Faith in the calling is what it required. Faith that Jesus is leading and a faith that requires trust, bravery and truly a leap of faith. Riverside Ranch is a Christian 501c3 nonprofit in Clayton, NC. Dirt and a dream, a God given vision. A miracle. A place of God’s presence. A place of community, encouragement, love for one another and horses! Our mission: Sharing Christ’s love by supporting individuals with special needs and those navigating grief through community, interaction with horses, and engagement with nature. We started in 2018 by going to Nursing Homes to offer grief groups and crafts, connection and realness. We opened our facility in 2020 when the world was shutting down. God said Open. We should have not have made it and barely survived BUT GOD…we thrived. We built, we grew, we made an impact. Now our facility, program and retreats have been going strong for over 6 years. Praise Jesus! All things really are possible with God. Our biggest fundraiser of the year is this Friday. It’s humbling to feel people’s support in such a big way. We appreciate everyone who continues to support us and give their time, talent and treasure. God Bless you in Jesus’ name! Our horses Beau, Bear and Benny say hello! :)See it on Instagram ↗
