The men and woman who come through our doors are the ones who have become distressed by life’s hardships. They are society’s rejects: drug addicts, alcoholics, the homeless, and the hopeless. They hear about the ranch through the grapevine in the drug culture or set free outreach teams in our communities throughout riverside and San Bernardino County. Some people come here with referrals from one or many agencies in the inland empire. Social service, parole, and probation. Or on some occasion the court uses the ranch as an alternative sentence for an individual facing jail time. For more information, call 760-910-4891
