Oxford, Mississippi - Woodforest Charitable Foundation has recently donated $900 to the Angel Ranch, Inc. located in Oxford, Mississippi.

Every child has a dream of what he wants to be when he grows up. Unfortunately, not every child gets a fair chance at acquiring that dream. Woodforest Charitable Foundation’s recent donation of $900 will assist Angel Ranch, Inc.’s efforts in providing emergency shelter services to abused children.

Angel Ranch, Inc. opened their doors for children on November 1, 2006. Oxford was in need of a residence to house children who were considered to be in danger and needed to be removed from their home. Since that time they have served 84 children in 26 Mississippi counties. Their facility will house up to 8 children at a time, while they work with social services to find foster homes for additional children. Angel Ranch, Inc. is a non-profit organization that depends on volunteers to provide clothing, food, medical treatment, tutoring and counseling.

“These children are provided a loving family environment and opportunities that every child deserves,” said Kim Marling, Vice President of Woodforest Charitable Foundation. “The Angel Ranch, Inc. provides emergency shelter, high quality care and hope for the future to abandoned, abused and neglected children.   We are delighted to support an organization that offers hope and opportunity to so many children.”
