We are thrilled to announce a milestone at 8th Mountain! We’ve officially received our very first grant, which will allow us to take a critical step in our mission by building a perimeter fence around our property. 

This grant represents more than just funding—it’s a commitment to the safety, security, and growth of our programs and those we serve. With this fence, we’re not just establishing physical boundaries; we’re creating a secure environment where kids and families can feel safe and supported. 

This addition will allow us to expand our work, ensuring that everyone who comes through our gates knows they’re entering a sanctuary where they’re valued and protected. The new fence also opens doors for even greater opportunities for our programs and events, as we work toward creating an inviting and welcoming environment for all. We’re grateful for the support that made this possible and look forward to beginning this project soon. 

However, as we start this exciting build, we recognize that there’s more work to be done to complete the fence and make the most of every dollar. If you have creative ways to help stretch these funds—whether by introducing us to contractors or sharing resources—we would love to connect with you! Please email us or click https://8thmountainranch.org/give if you would like to donate now. 

 Thank you for your continued support, prayers, and encouragement as we build a stronger, safer future together. We’re looking forward to every new step of this journey and are blessed to share it with you! Please keep sharing and stay tuned for more updates! 

 Blessings 

 Rachael & the 8th Mountain team!
