Join us at the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches for a Ribbon Cutting and Open House for our newest home, Raney Hall—Saturday, June 13 at 11am.
Raney Hall is named in recognition of the Raney family of Ozark, Arkansas, whose extraordinarily generous gift funded the construction of a new home that will provide safe, loving homes for children at the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches.
We are so grateful to the Raney family for making this dream home a reality for the Ranch, and we look forward to celebrating this important milestone for the organization with some of our closest friends.

A short dedication ceremony will will be held on the front porch of Raney Hall, and the Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce will host the official ribbon cutting. An open house and lunch will follow.
Please allow plenty of time to travel out to the Ranch, which is located west of Batesville near the community of Bethesda.
Feel free to bring a housewarming gift of cleaning supplies or nonperishable food items to stock our pantry and help welcome our new houseparents. Or you can make a one-time or monthly donation to support the Raney Hall’s ongoing needs by clicking here.
We are grateful to everyone who has supported ASYR for the last 50 years as we have provided safe, loving homes for Arkansas children. And we are excited that Raney Hall will soon be a place for many more children to call home for the next 50 years, and beyond.
