(AUDIO) Reba’s Ranch House Celebrates 23 Years Of Helping Families

Plain and simple…Reba gives back. Among her many gifts…over 2 decades ago she opened Reba’s Ranch House, a home away from home for family members to be with loved ones while in the hospital, and sometimes that means hospice care. The hospitality house is now celebrating its 23rd year. Or as Reba puts it “We have been open 8,395 days. What a blessed place this is!”

And they have a lot to celebrate…Reba’s Ranch House has provided comfort for over 31,000 families since its beginning! Helping people is part of who Reba is. She commented about receiving valuable advice from one of the world’s most famous entertainers…

Reba – Uses celebrity status to help people :15
“You know I used to work with Bob Hope many years ago and he said the most important thing you can do with your celebrity status, he said you can help other people so much more than the normal person because you can reach more people. And I’ve always tried to do that. That was great advice.”
