Celebrating 35 Years In the fall of 1984, a lot was happening at Eagle Ranch. Our first boys’ home, the Faith Home, was under construction, our 10-acre lake was being dug out, and an athletic field was being cut from the rough country land. I drove up the dusty dirt entry road daily to the only finished building on the Ranch: the first administration building that also served as my home. My dog, Connor, was always there to greet me. I had two prevailing thoughts during those early days. First, God’s provision during the previous two years when I was looking for the place that would become Eagle Ranch. Secondly, what a great privilege it was to be a part of helping children in need and the excitement of what was on the horizon for Eagle Ranch. One of the Ranch’s core values is a commitment to timeless innovation, which means we are always pioneering — responding to the needs of our community with a vision for the future. Today, there are fewer dirt roads, our first administration building has been replaced by a larger facility, our 10-acre lake is now full of fish, and we have three athletic fields for our boys and girls. And yet, we are continuing to pioneer. On the eve of our 35th anniversary, there is still a lot happening at Eagle Ranch. We will soon be building the Wings Center, which will facilitate a significant expansion of the Eagle Ranch program, helping thousands more children and families in our community. You can read more about this effort in the following pages. Thank you for believing and investing in this mission for 35 years. It’s made a difference. God's blessings, Eddie Staub Eagle Ranch Founder and Executive Director
