Welcome to the home of Refuge Ranch, a 501c3 non-profit
organization located in central Illinois, just south of the state
capital Springfield.
At Refuge our prayer is that hurting people will find hope,
safety, and unconditional love here. Children desperately
need a place to run, play, make noise, and simply be kids.
Adults are longing for a place of rest and reprieve from busy
schedules and chaotic lives. We simply desire to be a place of
refuge for anyone who needs shelter from the storm.

neglected animal. The one on one
relationships between our program participants
and our volunteers provide a very natural
opportunity for mentoring and growth.
