Circle of Care Celebrates Ribbon Cutting for Flying M Ranch

Gore, OK – On Saturday, October 4, Circle of Care celebrated the ribbon cutting of the Flying M Ranch in Gore, Oklahoma, with a public event that welcomed community members, partners, and supporters to tour the ranch’s new homes and gym. The event marked a significant milestone in Circle of Care’s ongoing mission to empower children and families through foster care and family support services.

Formerly known as the Boys Ranch, the property has a long and meaningful history of serving youth in Oklahoma. Through a $3 million capital campaign launched in 2021, the newly reimagined Flying M Ranch offers four new family homes and a renovated gym with commercial kitchen and volunteer space. Visitors at the event were able to explore the new facilities—constructed to create safe, nurturing, and community-centered environments for healing and growth.

“Sixty-three years into serving young people at our ranch, Saturday was a reminder that the dream and vision continue to live on thanks to the generosity of so many and through the service of our team and families who say yes to foster care at Flying M Ranch!” said Keith Howard, President and CEO of Circle of Care.

The name Flying M Ranch pays homage to the ranch’s deep roots while representing a renewed vision for the future. Through expanded programming and modernized living spaces, Circle of Care continues its commitment to seeing and serving the wholeness of people—helping children and families thrive across Oklahoma.

Circle of Care extends heartfelt thanks to all donors, community partners, and families whose support made the transformation of Flying M Ranch possible.
