VOLUNTEERING

That Little Voice In Your Head Saying, “Go Help.” Is God Calling You To Missionary Service.

5Rock Ranch is an ideal place to fulfill your calling. If you have a season to help turn the lives of moms and their children into something better, you’ll like 5Rock Ranch. Our resident volunteers stay for a season or up to a year.

​

You can also bring a team to do a special project or join in working on an existing project. Call it a vacation with a purpose, sweat investing, or being a ranch partner. We can find the right project for you or your group. We offer housing for overnight project guests.


Project Examples Past, Present, and Future:

​

  •  Help with housekeeping

  •  Help with one of our single moms retreats

  •  Help with remodeling projects at the lodge

  •  Help with projects on the ranch like grading, construction, or maintenance

Volunteer Opportunities

If you have a talent, skill, or the willingness to help wherever you're needed, we have a job for you!  We are looking for regular, occasional, and one-time volunteers who would love to come alongside us here at 5Rock Ranch and help us get things done.

Here are our current volunteer needs:

​

  • a plumber who can come out once a month to help with our plumbing needs.

  • a handyman who can come out regularly to help fix stuff.

  • a lady who enjoys cleaning and would love to work with the ladies and help direct them during lifeskills time (1-3pm) one - three days a week.​

  • a person or group who would love to come cook dinner (and clean up) for the 5Rockers 1-4 nights a week.

​

​

​In addition to our regular volunteers to help with ranch needs, we have created a list of events needing volunteers at the ranch throughout this year and into 2026.

5Rock Ranch Volunteer Calendar - 2026

Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering at 5Rock for our events.
We know that God is asking us to have these events available for those He has called to participate.

At this point these are our projected dates for all of our upcoming events.  Our goal right now is to help you understand what our needs are so you can pray and see if God would have you help in any way for one or more of these events.

BELOW IS THE LIST OF EVENTS STILL TO COME IN 2026:

CHRISTMAS RETREAT

CHRISTMAS RETREAT


This is our annual retreat for single moms and kids.  It’s a big deal around here! What a blessing to have over 100 people spend the night at the ranch and experience Christmas together in a beautiful environment with other single moms.  We do everything from a Christmas Eve big screen movie, Christmas PJ’s, good food, presents (lots of them), stockings (like 60 hung in front of the fireplace) and homemade cinnamon rolls.​

 

This event is great if you have a friend, family members, or small group that you would like to volunteer with.

​

HOUSEKEEPING BEFORE - clean bunkhouse rooms, clean lodge - this can be done any time within a couple weeks before Christmas.

PREPARATION - stockings, gift wrapping, food prep, PJ sorting, and more - we work on this the week before Christmas.  We’ll let you know specific dates if you’re interested in helping.

HELP CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY - cook & serve meals & meal clean up (Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas morning cinnamon rolls then brunch), Christmas Eve movie set up, popcorn & clean up), and someone to oversee it all. Our rooms are limited due to filling them up with families so you’ll need to bring a trailer or just come up for the day.

AFTER EVENT ON CHRISTMAS EVE (around 3pm) - just help us get the food all put away, dishes done &  trashes emptied.

WORK DAY Saturday, January 3rd -  great for a big group of people.  Clean bunkhouse rooms, get lodge back together and clean after Christmas and the Christmas break, clean up all of the Christmas stuff (put things away, clean up Santa’s workshop, etc…
