Support the mission of Big Oak Ranch through giving. Your generosity provides daily care, builds new opportunities, and sustains the ministries that change the lives of children who need safe, loving homes.
Parenting Roles
Whether serving as a Houseparent at Big Oak Ranch or as a Foster Parent in our Communities, you provide the love, guidance, and stability every child deserves.
Prayer
Prayer is the foundation of everything we do. By praying for our children, houseparents, and staff, you cover this ministry in God’s protection and guidance.
The 365 Fund
Help meet the daily needs of children learning that they are wanted, valued, and loved.
Every day at Big Oak Ranch is an opportunity to relieve the suffering of children. Many arrive in survival mode, longing for safety, stability, and someone to believe in them. Through the 365 Fund, you help provide the steady care and Christ-centered support that makes healing possible. Your gift provides the necessities of daily life, allowing each child the chance to experience a sense of home.
When you give through the 365 Fund, you make a difference. You provide not just necessities, but the nurturing environment every child deserves, where they can look to the future with hope. Every day matters, and your giving helps transform those days into a foundation for a foundation for a future our kids now realize is possible.
