LARC Travel Club just returned from another amazing trip to the Disneyland Resort. They experienced exciting rides, delicious meals, dinner with Mickey Mouse and his pals and many sweets and treats. It was three days full of laughter, sunshine and many smiles!

Tonight at the Ranch the Ladies Club met for their monthly meeting and created colorful masterpieces to proudly display in their villas!

Today is National Strawberry Day and what better way to celebrate at the Ranch than with fresh Strawberry Shortcake for dessert in Villa F!

Party for LARC Residents to celebrate the Here Comes The Sun Fundraiser ❤️

It’s the happiest time of the year— our annual fundraiser for L.A.R.C Ranch. We are entering our 62nd year of providing a safe comfortable and loving home for our nearly 100 developmentally disabled adults helping them to live their best, most fulfilling lives. L.A.R.C. Staff have done an incredible job during the Covid shut down— the residents have been healthy, busy, safe and happy throughout the past 18 months.  Annually, we have a fundraiser to help bridge the gap between the funding we receive and actual cost of maintaining the 65 acre campus, 13 individual homes, The Apple St. home, Sunrise ADC program, L.A.R.C. Industries and the auxiliary buildings on the campus. Every donation we receive makes a big difference and goes directly to L.A.R.C. Ranch. Donate today at www.larcfoundation.org or by calling 661-296-8636 extension 233!  Please consider making a contribution today.

Since we can’t have an in-person celebration for the fundraiser due to the pandemic, LARC Residents celebrated the fundraiser in their homes with pizza, salad, cupcakes and soda❤️. See the happy faces through the next few posts!

These are unique times, so it's only fitting that the LARC 2020 fundraiser is unique, too: Please "join" us in our semi-virtual "Safer at Home" fundraiser! More information: http://larcfoundation.org/fundraisers/

This afternoon there was a brush fire called the Texas Fire approximately a mile from LARC Ranch. Out of an abundance of caution, we evacuated all of the LARC residents and staff to our LARC industries day program in Santa Clarita. We just received word that evacuations for Bouquet Canyon have been lifted. We will have a pizza dinner at LARC Industries then head home to the Ranch for the night! Thank you to everyone who reached out and for all your positive thoughts and prayers❤️

Thank you to Mask Makers in Santa Clarita for donating 200 masks to the residents of LARC Ranch! We appreciate your kindness and generosity!

Happy New Year! LARC Ranch resident Mario Hidalgo will be in the Rose Parade on January 1, 2020. He will be riding on the Kiwanis Float the 70th entry in the parade. Mario will be representing the Santa Clarita Aktion Club that is composed of all LARC residents. Mario was chosen from a pool of many applicants due to his various accomplishments and more than 10 years of service in the Aktion Club in various leadership capacities! We can’t wait to see him proudly represent LARC and the SCV Aktion Club!

We are home!! Late last night all LARC residents and staff returned to the Ranch. The evacuation order has been lifted and electricity restored so we were able to bring everone back to the Ranch. Thank you for all your phone calls, messages, positive thoughts and prayers during our Tick Fire Evacuation adventure! LARC residents did a great job during the evacuation and our stay at the Red Cross Shelter. We cannot thank our staff enough. LARC staff worked tirelessly around the clock making sure every resident’s need was met and that they felt safe, happy and comfortable! LARC Ranch is truly blessed to have such amazing families, residents and staff!

LARC Ranch is currently under mandatory evacuation orders due to the Tick Fire. All of the residents and staff are safe and currently at our LARC Industries Day Program where we will have a pizza party then head to the Red Cross Shelter for a night of sleep. Keep all of us in your thoughts and prayers as well as all the First Responders and Fire fighters out there trying to protect everyone! We will post updates here as they develop.

You're invited to "Be Our Lifesaver" as the S.S. LARC sets sail at our annual fundraiser on Sept. 22! All the details and tickets are available online: http://larcfoundation.org/fundraisers/

Tonight a group of LARC residents and staff went to see the Anaheim Angels game. They were sitting in the “Trout Zone” when Angels all-star Mike Trout hit a ground rule double into the trout zone and it was caught by LARC resident Dan Handel! Go Angels and Go LARC!

L.A.R.C. Ranch wishes you all a Happy New Year!! In 2019 L.A.R.C. will celebrate its 60 year Anniversary , we hope this is the best year yet!
