Have a used golf cart or side-by-side taking up space or collecting dust?

Our farm program gives young people opportunities to build transferable workforce skills through hands-on work and mentorship. As our program grows, we are looking for a donated used golf cart, utility cart, or side-by-side to help transport tools, supplies, and staff around the property.

Donations like these help us direct more resources toward youth programming and learning opportunities. If you are interested in making a donation, please contact us at [email protected].

A huge THANK YOU to the amazing team from Keller Williams for spending the day volunteering at Drumm Farm Center for Children! ❤️❤️❤️

From painting fences and mowing pastures to w**ding and w**d whacking, they tackled every project with energy, teamwork, and servant hearts. Because of their hard work, our campus looks beautiful and summer-ready!

We’re so grateful for community partners who show up and make a difference for the children and families we serve. Thank you for giving your time and talents to Drumm Farm! 🌱☀️

After 15 years of dedicated leadership, service, and heart, we celebrate the retirement of our Executive Director, Brad Smith. Brad’s impact on the children, youth, staff, and community at Drumm Farm will be felt for generations to come. Through his leadership, compassion, and unwavering commitment to our mission, he helped create opportunities, hope, and a place so many have proudly called home.

We are also proud to recognize Brad as the recipient of the Berkemeier Lifetime Achievement Award, a well-deserved honor recognizing his lasting impact and years of service to Drumm Farm Center for Children.

Alongside Brad every step of the way has been his wife Julie Smith, whose servant heart and dedication have touched countless lives. It was only fitting that the very first Julie Smith Volunteer Award was presented in her honor, recognizing the incredible example of generosity and compassion she has shown our organization and community.

Thank you, Brad and Julie, for the legacy you leave behind, the lives you’ve changed, and the love you’ve poured into Drumm Farm. Congratulations on this well-earned next chapter, you will always be part of the Drumm family. ❤️

May is Foster Care Awareness Month 💙

This month, we recognize the strength, resilience, and courage of the children and youth in foster care and the incredible individuals who show up for them every single day. From foster parents and caseworkers to teachers, mentors, and advocates, it truly takes a community to create a sense of stability, belonging, and hope.

At Drumm Farm Center for Children, we are reminded daily that every child deserves a safe place to call home and the opportunity to build a brighter future.

Join us this month in raising awareness, supporting foster families, and being a voice for those who need it most. Because every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and valued.
