CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — It was an exciting day in London for Agape Ranch as they were the recipients of a $496,000 check from the Charity League of Corpus Christi.
Agape Ranch provides high quality foster care in South Texas by supporting foster and adoptive families on their 11 acre property.
"The work that 40 women do is just incredible," said Agape Ranch Director of Operations Melissa Faux. "I mean really, truly, they love this community they want us to get flourished, and today they've chosen to do it through vulnerable children in foster care with Agape Ranch."
The ranch will use the generous donation to build a high capacity home in the ranch neighborhood -- aiming to keep sibling groups together.
