Since the 1950's the Knights of Columbus have provided most of the fundraising for Rancho San Antonio. Within the first three years, they raised enough money to build the chapel, indoor swimming pool, and the first four dormitories on the grounds.
One of the most outstanding testimonials on their website is from Richard
“Rancho stepped in when I was at the bottom of the barrel. The loving and caring individuals that I was blessed to have work with me; showed me how to become a man with respect, integrity and accountability. I’m about to enter my 7th year of recovery from addiction and work as a state certified addictions counselor. I owe all good in my life to Rancho San Antonio for the values they have instilled in me and showing me there is another way to live.”
