Victory Farm seeks support
Victory Farm therapeutic riding center is hoping to relocate closer to Lake Wylie and is looking for support through its Go Fund Me account.
The farm serves mental and physical disabilities, traumatic injuries or disease for toddlers through adults. It also rescues horses to work with special needs riders.
Victory Farm program director Dory Pell said she has leased property for five years and is attempting to raise money for a permanent home ranch on Highway 274 near the state line.
“With the purchase of this property, we can provide more and varied programs to help our special needs community learn to thrive in life and society,” she said.
The nonprofit still needs $70,000 for the down payment. To make a donation, visit gofundme.com/qnberw, through PayPal on the Victory Farm website VictoryRides.org or mail to Victory Farm, P.O. Box 6341, Gastonia, NC 28056.
