Apply to be a Volunteer!


We know that “many hands make light work” and that without our volunteers the ranch just wouldn’t be the same. Together we are building and together we are making a difference.  Give some thought to getting further involved with us and putting our footprints and fingerprints upon these acres of service.  You can reach us through a phone call, e-mail, or by attending one of our tours.

Make a Financial Donation


The expenses here at the ranch are substantial, and so are the services we provide.  Whether you have $10, $100, $1,000, or $10,000 to donate we will wisely spend every single penny.  Your donation is tax deductible as Acres for Joy is a non-profit organization with 501c3 status. All donations go towards programming in Acres for Joy's Scholarship Program!

Introduce Us to Someone


We are an eclectic bunch bound together for a common purpose.  We love to meet others.  Time and again we have heard “there is someone you just have to meet” and time and again those contacts have opened doors of opportunity.  Come and meet us and bring a friend.

How to Help

Donate an In-Kind Item


In-kind gifts would range from paper towels to cat food. 

Items that help with the daily running of the ranch would be greatly appreciated by all of us, including our animal friends. 


​​Our wish list ranges from needing clean rags to a tractor, from feeding supplies to a truck, from someone to build an animal shelter to the gift of a windmill.  We garden, we build fence, and we feed a herd (both horse & human) who love treats.
