Our Story
Founded in 1947, Ben Richey Boys Ranch began with a vision to provide a safe haven for boys in need. Established on 300 acres of land generously donated by the Abilene City Council, the Ranch has been a beacon of hope for countless children and families. With the support of Optimists International, the Ranch has grown into a nurturing environment where boys aged 6 to 14 can thrive, learn, and develop into productive members of society.
