Choose An Ornament - Make A Gift - Care For A Horse

Please join us in fulfilling the Christmas Wishes of Charis Youth Ranch horses and youth this holiday season.

You may visit our ranch at 1900 E Trilby Road in Fort Collins and select an ornament directly from the Giving Tree or select a gift from our wish list.

Here's How It Works

You can purchase or sign up for the items listed on the ornament and then either drop off your gift at Charis Youth Ranch, mail it to PO Box 1074, Laporte CO 80535 or text Nicole J. at 970-481-1764 to have the item picked up or to sign up if you select one of the "Provide A Service" Ornaments.

You may also donate directly on our website
