The Council presented a check for $1,308 as part of our ID Drive Special Needs Campaign which benefits children and adults with special needs. Thank you to all who volunteered their time and donated resources to this wonderful ministry.

More about Ivey Ranch’s Mission

Ivey Ranch Park is dedicated to encourage the interaction of those of all ages, with and without disabilities, by providing educational and recreational activities. Since 1981 we have served children and adults with disabilities but will not exclude the able-bodied, since integration, inclusion and interaction are important components of our program. Serving over 250 individuals a week, our essential goals are:

Community integration and participation
Personal choice
Self-respect and respect for others
Competence and self reliance

Currently over two thirds of our clients here at Ivey Ranch Park have moderate to severe disabilities which include behavioral disorders, genetic disorders, and disabilities caused by accident or trauma. School age children come for after school, summer and off-track care. The Center also operates an equestrian facility, in-home respite services, and a Community Garden.
