Forgotten Children's Fund

Founded in 1976, The Forgotten Children's Fund volunteers work together to purchase, wrap and deliver gifts to needy children and their families. The gifts are delivered by volunteer Santas and Elves on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

The Forgotten Children's Fund includes the M-Bar-C Ranch which offers a Day of Western Fun for qualifying groups of special needs or children & adults in special circumstances. Both the FCF and M-Bar-C Ranch are 100% volunteer run and rely on donations and fundraising efforts to carry out their missions.

The M-BAR-C Ranch on Whidbey Island, WA targets children and adults with special needs, financial challenges or other special circumstances. The Ranch operates from May through September and is only open by group reservation. The visitors can ride horses, take a wagon ride, dress up from our well stocked costume room, play in our kid-size Western town, do fun and imaginative crafts and just enjoy the Ranch's 52 peaceful acres. At the Ranch we strive to make at least one day special for each child with a safe place to just be a kid and forget their troubles. The program is free for qualifying groups.
