As part of its Change for Charity initiative, Market Street recently donated nearly $11,000 to Inspiration Ranch. The funds were raised by Market Street patrons and The Woodlands Car Club event attendees during the fourth quarter of 2020 and will assist the organization, which serves special needs clients and trauma victims.
Inspiration Ranch will use its Change for Charity gift to help drive growth for both its Equine-Assisted Therapeutic Riding and Equine-Assisted Mental Health programs. The therapeutic riding program will expand to serve 125 special needs clients before the end of 2021, and the mental health program will add a therapist and horses so that it can serve more trauma victims.
Since the program’s inception, Market Street patrons and The Woodlands Car Club event attendees have raised more than $250,000 for local charities. Four Montgomery County organizations are selected each year.
The Woodlands Car Club generously raises money at their events, held the first Sunday of each month. Their contributions, coupled with the amount donated to Market Street’s 68 parking meters make up the total amount given to a selected charity each quarter.
Inspiration Ranch is a Premiere Accredited Center through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International. Inspiration Ranch breaks down barriers and celebrates the inclusion of individuals with physical, emotional, and social disabilities. We offer exceptional equine-assisted therapy and activities in a loving Christian environment. The mission of Inspiation Ranch is to provide hope and improving the lives of those with physical, mental, and emotional challenges through Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies.
Inspiration Ranch's vision is to provide a Christ-centered oasis for children and adults with special challenges seeking excellence in Equine Assisted Activities andamp; Therapies while we inspire similar ministries to grow the arena of hope.
