         2008 has been an exciting year for Canyon Acres. The agency
         has grown from serving 200 kids each day in 2007 to serving
         more than 250. 2008 also witnessed the launch of new
         programs, including Adoption and Foster-Adoption Services
         and, most recently, an innovative therapeutic After-School
         Program at the Ranch. As Canyon Acres continues to expand
         its services to help even more at-risk youth, the agency
         needs community support now more than ever.
