Renewal Ranch to hold annual benefit rally

The second annual Renewal Ranch “Rally for Recovery” will be held 5:30 p.m. Saturday, May 21, at the Conway Expo Center and Fairgrounds.

Keith Jackson, former NFL player and director of Positive Atmosphere Reaches Kids (PARK), will be the guest speaker.

Renewal Ranch, a faith-based ministry in Perry County, recently celebrated its fifth anniversary of helping men battle addiction and restoring broken lives through Christ.

The Ranch is situated on 105 acres and includes three bunkhouses and a bathhouse. With the purchase of additional property, the Ranch added more beds, an efficiency apartment and space for a library. There is also a workout pavilion, a wood shop and an auto shop.

A ground-breaking ceremony was held recently to add a 15,000-square-foot multipurpose building which will help meet major needs: additional bed space, a commercial kitchen with dining space, office space and a chapel. Loy said the capital campaign for the project has generated about $350,000 and fundraising efforts are continuing.

At the rally, there will be silent and live auctions and a catfish dinner catered by The Fish House.

Tickets are $25 each, with group tables available for $250 for eight tickets.
