OUR STORY

It is incredible how one small idea can grow into something truly special. TriCord Ranch Foundation is result of one dream shared by two people. A dream of helping others in our community to become happier, healthier, more content versions of themselves while learning to work with others to achieve a common goal and make the world a better place to live for humans and animals alike. We are rooted in the belief that we all have an inherent responsibility to make a meaningful difference in our community. 

​

As a 501(c)3 organization founded in 2023, we are dedicated to achieving self-sustainability within the next ten years. Our services are free to all to ensure accessibility for all. We do welcome donations from those who are fortunate enough to be able to financially give to nonprofit organization. We will use everyday skills and challenges of life to teach people new ways to positively navigate their world and interact with others. Our primary target base are military personnel and their families, veterans and their families, at-risk youth ages 16-24 and first time offenders of nonviolent crimes ages 16-24 who have experienced traumatic event(s) which has affected their ability to successfully function in society. That being said, we also try to serve anyone who comes to us for assistance. Our programs are designed to help people heal from trauma, learn new life, and job skills, and develop effective coping mechanisms. We will offer a variety of support groups and individual therapy sessions to help people connect with others who are facing similar challenges. We will work with local business and organizations to help clients with government assistance programs, enrollment in career tech or continued education, and assist with job preparation and placement. Finally, we will provide the location and facilitate corporate and organization retreats, facilitate team building events, and work with local youth to learn about sustainability and conservation. 

 

We are planning to either acquire an existing location or construct a facility spanning at least 40 acres to establish the ranch. This comprehensive setup will allow us to attain self-sustainability through various means, including sourcing water, generating solar electricity, raising livestock, producing hay, maintaining fruit and nut orchards, and cultivating vegetable and flower gardens. Furthermore, we will operate a farmer's market, offering ranch-made products such as jerky, trail mix, fresh and canned produce, nuts, baked goods, beverages, and a selection of deli options. Our on-site store will showcase TriCord Ranch merchandise as well as arts, crafts, and furniture crafted by our clients.
