Volunteer Work Days

As a thank you for your support, please look below for your gift from Garden Gate Ranch.
 

#ForTheLoveOfEachOne
Serving Every Saturday
Every Saturday the Garden Gate Ranch property is visited by amazing volunteers, all motivated to make a difference in the lives of the future residents of our home. Our team has a big goal of finishing house renovations by October, and so we are INCREDIBLY thankful to every single hand that scrubs cabinets, holds a paintbrush, lifts lumber, and even makes us lunch. Without the help of our community, The Ranch House's grand opening would be greatly delayed.

Saturday work days are continuing for the next few weeks, and we would be so pleased to see you serving out at the house! If you want to be a part of this special time, please fill out the survey below and tell us how and when you would like to volunteer. If you want to partner with Garden Gate Ranch financially and support living and operating costs for our mission, you can become a monthly partner via the next button down. We value every type of involvement that you choose, and we're so thankful that you love women in need enough to join us in providing a safe, restorative home full of the chance for healing.

For The Love Of Each One,
Brenda Long & The Garden Gate Ranch Team
 
Join a Work Day
Garden Gate Ranch is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that relies on the generosity of its partners and community to ensure the service of each young woman. Because her worth was once defined by the money she made each night, she will never be asked to pay a cent for her stay at any of our homes. Your financial investments support the current assistance of local women in need as well as the program and operation costs necessary for each future resident to stand on her own feet again. Because of your support, she will have the space to test her wings and, one day, to soar.

Upcoming Events

This 1-day summit will supply front line professionals with updates on key topics related to advancing anti-trafficking efforts in Iowa. 

Professionals in all fields —law enforcement, legislation, social care, foster care, counseling, school administration, nursing, clergy, etc.— are encouraged to come and hear more about the support available to them on the front lines of Iowa’s fight against human trafficking and slavery.

In addition to arming attendees with anti-trafficking tools and information, this summit will also provide opportunities to network, celebrate successes, and brainstorm ways in which front line professionals can receive timely updates on anti-trafficking efforts and resources in the future.

CEU credits will be offered. This conference is approved for:
- 1.25 CLE credits from the Iowa Courts Commission for Attorneys
- 6 CEUs for specialists certified through Homicide & Other Violent Crime (HVOC)
- 6 Law Enforcement CEs
- 6 CEs from the Iowa Coalition Against Sexual Assault
- 6 CEs from DHS (foster care credit)
Additional CEs are pending and will be communicated as information becomes available.

Do You See Her?
“God started to speak to me about human trafficking, which I knew so little about. I heard women say, “No one is looking for me,” '“No one cares,” “They look right at me but don’t see me,” “They don’t think I’m worth fighting for,” “Will somebody come? Will someone help?” I felt their pain that day, and I felt God’s pain. At that moment, I knew these were the ones I was to help and that this was my mission field.” 
- Founder & Executive Director Brenda Long
