Recurring Giving: Team Appaloosa

Team Appaloosa is a passionate group of monthly donors committed to bettering the lives of Idaho's youth through monthly giving. By joining the Appaloosa Team, you help Idaho's kids find a renewed sense of strength, freedom, and possibility. 

Your monthly donation allows us to continue providing our critical services to Idaho's youth—giving them and their futures more stability. You will be a part of a legacy that goes back to 1953 when Reverend James Crowe and his wife Ruby Carey started a boy's ranch in the desert outside Rupert. That ranch grew into a statewide multi-service agency that serves Idaho's most vulnerable youth.
