To see the dark side of serving one’s country – the harshness of war and the difficulty transitioning upon returning home – most of us can’t imagine. That’s why it’s critical, both to repay our veterans for their service and to reap the benefits of their skills and dedication.
That’s what Central Oregon Veterans Ranch does.
On 19 acres near Bend, Oregon, these men and women receive crucial services on a working ranch, offering housing and care in a healthy outdoor setting.
