The River’s Edge Ranch is a nonprofit recovery facility that has supported men overcoming substance abuse since 2007. Its program offers a holistic rehabilitation approach, integrating manual labor, animal-assisted therapy, faith and mentoring to empower men to rebuild their lives and contribute positively to their communities.
“Hosting this event at the ranch is important to us because we want to be a resource not only for our community, but for anyone struggling with drugs or alcohol,” said Tyler Logan, director of The River’s Edge Ranch. “It helps the men in our program find peace, knowing they are taking steps to clean up their records. Being part of an event of this magnitude is truly a blessing.”
This event is open to the public and will have additional resources for the community provided by A Heart for Rudy, Army of Love and Working Dog for Warriors. A free lunch, courtesy of The River’s Edge Ranch Cookout Truck, will be provided to attendees.
In addition, The River’s Edge Ranch will offer free shuttle services from the Lucerne Valley Market bus stop on Highway 18 throughout the event.
