This helps them develop healthy relationships and learn to trust. Volunteer mentors work with the children and provide a safe environment for them to share their stories. The children ride the horses as well as perform assigned tasks and chores around the ranch. Many of the horses have been rescued and the children help these horses to heal as well. In 2024, we held 459 sessions that benefited more then 100 children with the free services at HUGS Ranch. During 2024, individual volunteers and groups served as mentors and wranglers, fed the horses and did maintenance jobs large and small. 214657 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false true true true false false MI X X Lisa Carter 6163125254 284 Byron Road SW Byron Center MI 49315 Lisa Carter President 40.00 0.00 X X 58474 0 10698 Ed Postema Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vicki Hooker Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dan Enck Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 John Haller Vice President 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 58474 0 10698 0 false false false 369605 28688 369605 10710 10710 3099 -3099 -3099 -3099 0 1001 1001 1001 378217 -2098 0 10710 69172 41503 14369 13300 83111 64779 13554 4778 6078 5572 270 236 10836 7643 1932 1261 11225 11225 3211 186 3025 21905 10485 8140 3280 4964 2481 2483 34242 29617 4625 2472 2225 247 6357 5975 382 14465 14465 717 717 Program supplies 29912 29912 298667 214657 58130 25880 7971 28063 454409 486901 30000 16383 9125 383393 59958 320779 323435 2715 799542 880239 11653 12800 11653 12800 X 786449 866125 1440 1314 787889 867439 799542 880239 79550 0 X true X false false false X 238521 325694 275048 356896 369605 1565764 238521 325694 275048 356896 369605 1565764 193640 1372124 23 21 781 10530 10710 22065 1587829 4969 0.86420 0.82570 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 311604 31723 279881 43689 19530 24159 28100 8705 19395 323435 X 9388 fmv X Horses goats 8 5300 fmv X Hay tack barn supplies 37 14000 fmv false true false Committee meeting documentation Part VI line 8b The organization does not utilize committees.
