Chicktime Smalltown is busy, busy, busy this month! This month, we are asking for donations of home goods with the children’s cabins but we would also really appreciate if someone could come in a help wrap gifts for the children! The children are also putting on their first Christmas play and we could really use help with all of the behind the scenes stuff!
We hope you all have a merry Christmas!
Chicktime Smalltown is dedicated to serving the children of Big Springs Ranch. In addition to the previously posted items on our website that we are collecting this month, we are asking for your help with a surprise for the children! The children REALLY want to be able to carve pumpkins for fall but as you all know, pumpkins are expensive. We would appreciate a donation of pumpkins to the Ranch and for someone to come in and help the children carve them!
If you would like to help us fill this request, please contact Brianne at bsadmin@hctc.net today!
Happy New Year to the Wonderful Women of Chicktime.
And a big Thank You for your generous and faithful support.
The children of Big Springs enjoyed a warm and safe Christmas, with plenty of gifts and support from everywhere. Chicktime has been blessed with many new mentors who are spending time with the children at the ranch and in their Homes. What a blessing.
We have been contacted by the leaders of the ranch and they have a big “need”. They are in need of their own Ranch Van. Presently Hill Country Youth Ranch provides Big Springs with vans for each home. Due to financial constraints these vans are Only allowed to travel to Uvalde and Kerrville. So, if there is ever a desire for any of the homes to go to a Christian retreat, Special event in San Antonio, etc. the ranch is restricted. They very much desire a van for these special occasions. A group of Chicktime women have already raised $17,000 towards the van. We are now looking for the remaining $7000 to make the purchase. If you have any desire to help us in this effort, please contact Kim Huffstutler at kim@sijet.com 830-591-7776 or Jan Elliott mamajan@wildblue.net 830-591-4795.
Blessings for a Fabulous New Year!
During this Christmas season, let us all remember what this season is really about and rejoice in HIS birth!

Max Westbrook of Austin, Texas, Uvalde’s former interim chief of police, hosted a career day event for the boys from the Big Springs Ranch that are interested in a career in the law enforcement field.

June’s Activity
Chicktime Smalltown cooling down with the girls of BSRC! The wonderful girls and awesome house parents traveled to Uvalde June 27th to enjoy a swim at Live Oaks Bed and Breakfast. There was a lot of spashin, jumpin and diving! And after their swim they were hungry, of course. I think the girls really enjoyed the chicken wings, veggies and fruit because there wasn’t much left! The time was too short as it always is and as always the blessing came to us. Watching them just being children is joy unspeakable. Please join with Chicktime in praying and serving the hurting wherever you are.
The House Parents & Life Guards!
