CharitySmith is thrilled to launch an ongoing effort to shine a spotlight on memorial funds and scholarships within our network that are making a remarkable difference in the lives of individuals and communities across the country. Our intention is to draw attention to great causes and inspire individuals who are on similar philanthropic journeys of improving lives.
Today, we are excited to spotlight is the Crow’s Nest Ranch founded by Jordan Brandt. It is located in beautiful Truckee, California where the Sierra Nevada Mountains meet one of the world’s most beautiful playgrounds, the Tahoe National Forest. This exceptional ranch, inspired by the memory of his mother, will offer a comprehensive long-term sober living environment that aims to help young men reclaim their lives and embrace a healthy lifestyle. The summer of 2024 marks the anticipated opening of Crow’s Nest Ranch, bringing much-needed resources to an area of the country that is in desperate need of them.
