Today, we are spotlighting one of our clients who has graciously shared what access to technology means for him. Thank you for sharing your story!

"I am currently a resident client at The Ranch. I am writing to share how much the support of United Way has meant to this community, and to emphasize a critical need that continues to grow amongst the clients: Better access to technology.

For many of us, a computer is no longer a luxury; it has become essential for progress and success. Whether it is a student, like myself, trying to keep up with their peers or an individual looking to build a better life through employment, technology is the tool that makes it possible. Increased access to laptops, tablets, and reliable hardware would help to change the lives of current and future clients here at The Ranch in several different ways. Access to these materials would not only empower clients searching for employment, but it would also promote educational success and digital literacy, a skill that a majority of the clients coming through The Ranch lack.

The generosity of United Way helps to bridge a gap for individuals like myself and others in my community. Access to these technologies would further help to close that gap, strengthening our community and providing us with more services and opportunities that would allow us to improve and reach our potential.

We here at The Ranch are incredibly grateful for the support we have received thus far, and we look forward to a future where everyone in our community has the digital tools they need to succeed.

Thank you for your generosity and for continuing to have faith in our potential and success."

Unity Campaign for Frederick

Join us as we kick off this year's Unity Campaign for Frederick!

This Unity Campaign, with your help, our goal is to raise $20,000 funding the creation of a computer lab which will include a dedicated study space as well as a 'Tech Library' that our clients can access during their stay. Access to technology is increasingly vital, allowing clients to take online classes or achieve certifications, virtually attend medical and legal appointments, and complete many other crucial tasks that will help them secure their present and plan for their future.

A soft, serene morning at The Ranch today. The snow is melting and creating a beautiful, foggy peace and quiet across our campus.
