Winding Branch Ranch

08/31/2026

Today is the final day to put your name on the Road to Sanctuary.

The Road to Sanctuary banners line the drive into Winding Branch Ranch, right along the route where thousands of guests walk as they arrive at the sanctuary.

Businesses can use a banner to show their support to the families visiting us throughout the year. Families and individuals can add their own name, honor someone special or simply become a visible part of the ranch.

Every banner helps support the animals, educational programs and community work happening at Winding Branch Ranch.

Banner sales end tonight.

Are we what you think we are? 👀

When you think of Winding Branch Ranch, what comes to mind?

Animal rescue? Agriculture? Kids? Food systems? Conservation? Regenerative farming? Something else entirely?

We've grown a lot over the last three years, and before we make some decisions about what comes next, we want to hear from you.

We've put together 10 quick questions. There are no right answers. In fact, the more honest you are, the more helpful this is.

🌱 Tell us what you think: https://www.windingbranchranch.org/community-survey

And if you'd like to stay in the conversation, you'll have the chance to raise your hand to be part of a small group we turn to occasionally when we're considering new programs, ideas and plans for the future.

You don't have to live nearby. You don't have to be a donor. You don't even have to have visited the Ranch. If you know Winding Branch Ranch, we want to know what you think.

Your voice matters. Help us shape what comes next.

Levi got his yes.

And with 12 hours left in National Nonprofit Day, we’re asking you to help us make sure the next animal who needs us can get one too.

Today only, animal sponsorships are $24/month instead of $34/month. Your monthly sponsorship helps provide the feed, veterinary care, shelter and daily support Levi and the other animals depend on, while giving us the stability to take the next call, open the next gate and say yes again.

You’ll also receive a personalized sponsorship certificate and photo of the animal you choose.

12 hours left. Choose the animal you want to stand behind.

National Nonprofit Day is tomorrow, and we’re asking our community to help us do something that lasts far beyond 24 hours.

Our goal is to raise $2,400, but just as important, we’re working to grow the dependable monthly support that helps us care for the animals already here and say yes when another animal needs rescue.

For National Nonprofit Day only, animal sponsorships are reduced from $34 to $24/month.

We shared more about why monthly support matters, what your gift helps make possible and all the ways you can participate in this year’s campaign.

Read the full story and see how you can help us make more yeses possible tomorrow:

On August 17, help raise $2,400 in 24 hours. Every animal sponsorship is reduced to $24 through 11:59 PM.

Tomorrow only, animal sponsorships are $24/month instead of $34/month.

For 24 hours, you can choose an animal who calls Winding Branch Ranch home and stand behind them with monthly support for feed, veterinary care, shelter and everything that goes into giving them a safe place to land.

This is how we keep saying yes.

Choose the animal you want to stand behind.

Sponsorship pricing returns to $34/month after August 17.

🌱 What’s Growing Wednesday!

August in South Texas definitely doesn’t mean the growing season is over. We’re planting again!

This week, cucumber, pumpkin, zinnia and black-eyed pea seedlings are popping up throughout the garden, while celosia, sunflowers and other summer flowers are still going strong.

Warm soil helps many seeds germinate quickly this time of year, and choosing plants that can handle our late-summer heat gives us another opportunity to grow before cooler weather arrives.

Our garden is one of the ways we teach that agriculture is all about understanding seasons, timing and what grows well where you live. In South Texas, August still has plenty of growing left to do.

What are you planting for late summer and fall? Tell us in the comments!
