The Goshen Valley Foundation was established in 1999 after God moved the hearts of the Blend family to donate their ranch property as a way to care for foster children. Through the leadership of founder John Blend, in 2001 the Goshen Valley Boys Ranch was created to care for young men in foster care.
Since then, Goshen Valley has expanded and now has four programs, Goshen Valley Boys Ranch, Goshen New Beginnings, Goshen Homes, and Goshen Therapeutic Services. Each program has a unique focus and ministry to foster children and vulnerable families in Georgia.
