What is Valor Ranch?
Valor Ranch, which will be located in the Smithville, MO area, will provide housing and assistance to homeless veterans in the Kansas City Missouri area. Valor Ranch will house up to 10 veterans at a time for 8-18 months.
Valor Ranch's vision is to help the veterans learn the necessary skills to re-enter civilian life successfully and in a positive way. Valor Ranch will offer housing, transportation to counseling, medical appointments, etc. and workshops and seminars. Future phases include adding canine and equine therapy, as well as on-site counseling. We will provide job training workshops, individualized coaching and support, and numerous group activities to supplement the one-to-one support. |
Our History
Valor Ranch is a start-up organization created by Debbie Childress to fulfill her passion to serve the veteran community. She has seen first-hand the effects of troops returning to an environment they were not prepared to deal with.
When a veteran has PTSD, the results are even more catastrophic. Their job skills from the military do not always transfer well into the civilian workforce, or maybe they don't have the necessary education to communicate their skill set to a prospective employer. These are some of the issues that Valor Ranch will strive to address and help the veteran successfully manage. Valor Ranch is currently in the fundraising stage. Please check out our upcoming fundraisers to find out how you can get involved! Join our email list to follow the progress of Valor Ranch. |
