I LOVE this place!…read more I found Good Hope looking for volunteer opportunities for my 14 y.o. daughter. The work that Peggy and her staff do is indescribably wonderful! Not only is the place clean and well kept, but the horses are well groomed, well cared for, and well loved. These beautiful animals are trained to work with special needs children and adults. The horse's power and strength is able to empower a rider who cannot walk, or cannot talk, or maybe cannot sit upright without assistance. Peggy and her staff are gentle, yet stern to both the horse and the rider. Peggy keeps everyone safe, and has at least 3 other people helping the rider at all times. She always asks the rider if they are having fun, but also always reinforces the need for safety. The grounds are a little slice of heaven. Even if you just need some time to commune with nature, take a ride down south, park your car, and sit in the shade to watch the little miracles performed here. You will not regret the trip! Thank you for what you do Peggy! We LOVE YOU! P.S. Lessons are also available for non-special needs riders too! Check out their website!

An amazing organization with deep roots here in Lynchburg, Virginia. Long before the big flashy…read morenon profits that bring in the big bucks to help locally, regionally and even nationally.....Lynchburg Daily Bread was on the front lines on the war against poverty and food insecurity. I have volunteered here for 5-7 meall services over the course of 11 years(not nearly enough) and every time I do, I am kind of left speechless by the amazing mission they are leading daily and how they are doing so with the quality and professionalism that is frankly, so strong that no 5 star rating could ever do it justice. For me to witnessing this impact first hand and seeing how they turn limited resources into a high quality, life altering, survival operation is invigorating. There are SO many non profits in Lynchburg, some would say to many but for me this is the model and this is the gold standard for which all others should follow. From their amazing Executive Director to their daily volunteers, all it takes is one trip over to their location on Clay Street location and you too, will realize it is the best of the best. For me, a deep breath is needed because if you are unfamiliar with this mission and environment, it can be jarring. For me stepping outside of my comfort zone is why I will, God willing, one day be able to provide them with a large contribution. I just want to thank all the staff and volunteers as you all are real life heroes. The number of lives you impact is astounding and something you all should be deeply proud of. Folks if you are a rational human being and believe that everyone in this great country should have access to the essentials, namely food and water then open up your checkbook and make a donation. If you are more of the, I don't have alot of money, but I do have 500 Facebook friends, host your own food drive....they will even provide you with a list of needed items AND if you arrange it ahead of time, they will bring a company truck to pick up the food you collected. No excuses, times are tough, lets help them today, tomorrow and as long as you can.
