Legacy Ranch has placed over 6,000 foster children in loving homes since 2006, including many that led to adoption and the beginning of a Forever Family. Our experienced staff is available to help you during every step of the process, for it is their passion to serve children who need a champion to serve them.
Shelters all over Texas are filled with children who have been removed from their homes, due to abuse or neglect. These innocent children need a family that will commit to meeting their needs, keeping them out of shelters, and keeping sibling groups together. We receive calls day and night asking if we have a home for children including infants being discharged from the hospital.
Freedom Ranch Retreat Center is our Austin location for families to enjoy. Here we host trainings, mentorships, and bonding time with other foster families. We understand busy family schedules so we offer weekday and weekend retreats throughout the year!
Our Gonzales Campus is a 156-acre ranch that provides both an Emergency Children's Center and several Children's Home on-site. Within these homes we provide a safe place where children can heal while we search for a family that fits them. In addition, children will be able to interact with horses, cows, chickens, and other therapeutic animals!
We often hold special events for children in foster care, during these events we need volunteers to assist children through the activities while also being a mentor to a child in need. Let’s make a difference together!
The Legacy Ranch organization is a non-profit Licensed Foster Care and Adoption agency that finds loving and caring homes for children who have been abused, neglected or exploited. Legacy Ranch provides extensive foster parent training and licensing with no fees every 6 to 8 weeks on Saturdays. We recognized the incredible need for safe and loving foster or adoptive homes for these children and also manage multiple Children’s Homes, Emergency Shelters and Residential Operations throughout Central Texas. Our dedicated and experienced staff provides meaningful one on one supportive mentoring in our licensed homes and provides guidance during fostering transitions from placement, reunification, and adoption.
