We saw the shared dream of Glori Ball, Vicki Fisher, and founders Gary and Carol Priour become a reality yesterday at the library dedication, and the day could not have gone more beautifully! A special thank you to Glori for sharing her story and heart during the dedication.

Thank you to the Auxiliary and Carol Priour for the wonderful decorations and delicious lunch that made the celebration so special. The newly renovated library is now officially open — a beautiful new space where the children can learn, explore, imagine, and grow for years to come. 📖 ✨

🌟 We Need Volunteers! 🌟🤩

Our Thrift Store is a huge success, contributing to the Ranch and our local communities, raising funds and helping furnish the houses at our three campuses. This is only possible through donations and volunteers who do the work to prepare the items. This is a plea for those of you who have a desire to help. We need you for just a few hours a week. Stop by to see it for yourself at 3171 Junction Highway, Ingram. Store hours are 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Drop in to see about volunteering, or call the store at (830) 367-5444.

There’s something special about seeing the world through a child’s eyes 📸

Our kids at Hill Country Youth Ranch have been exploring creativity through photography class, capturing moments that reflect their unique perspectives, imagination, and growing confidence — and we couldn’t be more proud.

Opportunities like this do more than teach a skill—they help our children discover their voice, build self-esteem, and see the world (and themselves) in a whole new way.

⭐️ Join us on May 18 at 10:00 AM ⭐️ for a very special moment at Hill Country Youth Ranch—the dedication of our newly renovated library.

What began as a dream shared by Glori Ball, Vicki Fisher, and our founders, Gary and Carol Priour, has now become a beautiful reality. With new furniture, updated books, and a fully refreshed space, this library is more than just a renovation—it’s a promise to our children that they are valued, they matter, and they deserve the very best.

This year, the library dedication will take the place of our May Auxiliary Luncheon and is open to all friends of the Ranch. We would love for you to be part of this meaningful celebration.

📍 Location: Hill Country Youth Ranch Community Center
📅 Date: May 18
⏰ Time: 10:00 AM

Please RSVP by emailing [email protected]

We hope to see you there as we celebrate this special new chapter for our children ❤️

Anyone have any gently used superhero toys, bedding, rugs or room decorations you are cleaning out?

We’re remodeling our little boys unit with a superhero theme. We’ve already temporarily relocated the children and have just finished the floors.

Our awesome staff artist/behavior specialist, Greg Martin, will be painting superhero murals in everyone’s room!

If you would like to contribute to this exciting project, just drop off your contribution at the Youth Ranch office with my name on it, or here’s the address ……
