The M Bar C Ranch on Whidbey Island is a wonderful intersection of people, land, and animals, and a place for children with special needs and their families to enjoy…

A close up look of our dinning hall 🌭🍔🥤we serve our summer program lunch here, cooked up by Chef Bob.

During the winter we use this space for weekly volunteer “coffee and chat” on Friday mornings. Please come and join us for coffee if you are interested in the ranch and volunteering!

The silly horse paintings were hand painted by some of our lovely volunteers! As well as the hand made quilt hanging in our dining hall.

Howdy Partners! It’s FUNDRAISER TIME!

To all our wonderful volunteers and friends of the M-Bar-C Ranch. It's time once again for our annual fundraising campaign that will run through the end of the year. This season was especially meaningful for all of us. We had another full schedule of our “Day of Western Fun” program hosting twenty-two groups from May to September. The groups included special needs children, young adults, and adults from the following: Oak Harbor Life Skills classes, 3 groups from Seattle Children’s Hospital, Coupeville Boys & Girls Club, The ARC of both King and Snohomish Counties, Compass Health Camps, Naval Air Station Whidbey Youth Center, Island County Human Services, Tomorrow’s Hope Child Center, Whidbey Child Center, Friendship Adventures and two Down Syndrome Community groups.

As you know, the M-Bar-C Ranch is operated by volunteers who work tirelessly making improvements to the Ranch, upkeep and maintenance tasks, training and exercising our horses and running the programs. Our spirit-lifting Day of Western Fun is special to every single one of our visitors, but it takes donations and fundraising to continue to do what we do. Your donations will be used for:

Hosting special needs, disadvantaged and financially challenged children and adults
Maintenance, upkeep and improvements to the Ranch property and facilities
Care and feeding of our twelve special equine partners

Your donation, big or small, allows us to continue to offer this program completely free of charge to the participants. We’re counting on your help to support our mission by donating to the M-Bar-C Ranch.

You can mail your donation to: M-BAR-C RANCH, PO BOX 1103, FREELAND, WA 98249 or drop your donation by the Ranch.

On behalf of our equine partners and extra special visitors, we thank you in advance for your continued support!
