Restoring Stability,
Circle Ranch is building a Christ-centered residential foster care community on 60 acres in Greensboro, Georgia, where children experience family-style homes, caring relationships, and the opportunity to build brighter futures.
Together with generous donors, churches, volunteers, and community partners, we're creating more than homes—we're building hope for generations to come.
Hope & Home
Creating a Place Where Every Child Belongs
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up in a safe, stable, and loving home. Yet thousand’s of children entering Georgia’s foster care system each year have experienced abuse, neglect, trauma, and repeated instability—often resulting in uncertainty, broken relationships, and frequent transitions.
At Circle Ranch, we believe healing begins with unconditional love, consistent relationships, and a family-centered environment committed to walking alongside each child for the long term.
Our vision extends beyond temporary care. We're creating a place where every child finds belonging, discovers hope, and has the opportunity to build a brighter future.
WHY CIRCLE RANCH?
A Different Approach to Foster Care
While many foster care organizations focus on placement, Circle Ranch is intentionally designed to provide children with long-term stability, meaningful relationships, and a place to truly belong.
Children thrive when they experience consistency, structure, and a place to call home.
Stability
Our Christ-centered foundation guides every relationship and every decision, demonstrating God's unconditional love through action.
Faith
Through a family-centered ranch model, children are surrounded by caring house parents, churches, volunteers, donors, and local partners who walk alongside them with consistency and compassion.
Healing happens through relationships. Every child is surrounded by people who care deeply about their future.
Community
By providing stability, encouragement, and opportunity, we help children discover hope for a brighter future.
Hope
More Than Homes.
A Community Built for Healing.Circle Ranch is thoughtfully designed to provide a family-focused environment where children experience safety, belonging, and opportunities to grow.
Our 60-acre residential community will include family homes, a barn, a chapel, gardens, recreational areas, gathering spaces, and a network of caring adults who are committed to providing long-term support.
More than a place to stay. A place to belong.
Family-Style Homes
Children live in homes, not institutional facilities, where they experience consistency, routine, and the love of a family environment.
Keeps Siblings Together
Whenever possible, brothers and sisters remain together, preserving relationships that provide comfort, stability, and hope.
Whole-Child Care
Children receive support spiritually, emotionally, academically, physically, and socially to help them reach their God-given potential.
Staying Close to Home
Serving a 15-county region in Northeast Georgia allows children to remain connected to their schools, churches, extended family, and community whenever possible.
Life Skills
From caring for animals to gardening and daily responsibilities, the ranch provides hands-on experiences that build confidence, responsibility, and independence.
MEET THE FOUNDER
A Vision Born from Faith and Compassion
Circle Ranch began with one simple belief:
Every child deserves to be known, unconditionally loved, and given the opportunity to thrive.
That conviction became the foundation for everything Circle Ranch is building today. Founder Jody Sandwick has spent years pursuing a vision of creating a Christ-centered foster care community where children can heal from their past while discovering hope for the future.
Today, that vision is becoming reality through the support of churches, donors, volunteers, and local partners who believe every child deserves a place to call home.
