Exodus Farms’ mission is to bring hope, healing, and health – both emotional and physical – to children of all ages (and their families) through a horsemanship program in a safe and accepting farm environment that gives value and purpose to both the horse and human who have been broken, abused, neglected and/or discarded. Through our program, children learn to care for themselves and other living creatures; process their emotions and reactions in healthy ways; build confidence, balance, and coping skills; and develop healthy connections with the community around them.

Exodus works exclusively with donated and rescued horses. Every horse we take in has a lifetime home and an opportunity to find new purpose connecting with and serving broken children in our community. We often tell the kids that we have no perfect horses – just like there are no perfect people – but that we love and care for each one of them despite (and sometimes because of!) their “flaws.” We often find that these “equine therapists” connect deeply with children who have gone through similar life experiences, and watching them find new hope and purpose together is a joy to behold.

Exodus’s volunteers are the lifeblood of what we do here! Our volunteers minister to hurting kids and families, help us make needed property improvements, assist with the large workload of caring for our “healing herd” of ministry horses, and in general, bless our farm with their skills, talents, and God-given giftings! We are thrilled to have volunteers of any age and skill level. Whether you’d like to come out and water flowers, walk beside a child and a horse, help our good-humored chore team pick up poop, share your fundraising/photography/office skills, or sit on a bench and pray with the families who visit us – if you feel led to volunteer with us, we would love to meet you and introduce you to the various opportunities!

Exodus’s day-to-day operations are entirely supported by donations from generous individuals and businesses in our community, with the occasional grant providing for larger projects and property improvements. We absolutely could not do what we do without you! For those able to make a financial donation you can do so by check or through our PayPal link here: www.exodusfarms.org/how-you-can-help/donate/ . For those who prefer to make an in-kind donation, there are many items, both large and small, that would help our program immensely! A full list can be found here: https://www.exodusfarms.org/how-you-can-help/exodus-wish-list/ . Any gift, large or small, is graciously appreciated!!!
