YOU Can Still Make a Difference in 2016!
12/29/2016
As we end our 40th year, I can’t tell you all of the heartbreaking stories that have brought each child to live at the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches.
Nor can I tell you the many stories of generosity that have made the Ranches a reality.
But what I can tell you is this:
• NO child comes to the Ranches through any fault of their own.
• We cannot provide safe, healthy and loving homes for these children without YOU.
As 2016 comes to a close, there’s still time to make a difference in the lives of these children. With your help, the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches can provide homes for even more of Arkansas children in 2017.

Because the Ranches are funded almost entirely through charitable donations, this is a critical time of year for the ASYR. We need your help to continue to provide care for every child who needs a place to call home.
Here are some ways to support the Ranches at year end

Christmas can be a difficult time for the boys and girls at the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches. Some miss their families, and for others, this may be the very first time they get to experience the joy of Christmas!
