About Us
Our Founders
Meet Jason and Ginger Slaughter, the founders of Safe Haven Ranch. They have answered God’s call to provide safe and loving Christian homes to children in need. Leaving behind their profitable cellphone business, Cedar Valley Communication, they started Community Share Ministry in 2011, which runs a men’s, women’s, and children’s home. The Children’s home and Jason and Ginger’s Household have cared for over 70 children. In 2022, they launched Safe Haven Boy’s Ranch, which will house up to 60 boys in 12 homes. The Slaughters have poured their hearts and souls into these ministries to ensure that these children, men and women are well taken care of. We are excited to see the future of Safe Haven Ranch.
Our Mission
Our "Why"
At Safe Haven Ranch, we understand the importance of providing a safe and nurturing environment for children who have experienced deep hurt. We believe that every child deserves to have their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs met, and our mission is to help them heal and grow in all areas of their lives. Our work is vital because it gives children who have faced difficult circumstances the hope and inspiration they need to overcome their challenges and build a brighter future. By sharing the love of Christ and providing a community of support and care, we can create a positive change in the lives of the children and families we serve. At Safe Haven Ranch, we are committed to making a difference in the world by investing in the lives of children who need it most.
Meet Our Board Members
Jason Slaughter, Founder and Chairman
Jason Slaughter is the Founder of Safe Haven Ranch and serves on the board as Chairman. A lifelong public servant and entrepreneur, Jason has dedicated his life to serving others and creating opportunities for children and families in need.
Jason began his leadership journey at age 21 when he was elected Polk County Commissioner, serving for eight years. He later operated his family's business, Slaughter Sales and Groceries, before founding Cedar Valley Communications, which grew to five retail locations. Throughout those years, he also faithfully served his church as a youth director and deacon.
In 2011, God called Jason to leave the business world and pursue full-time ministry. He founded Community Share Ministries to provide safe, loving homes for men, women, and children rebuilding their lives. That vision continued to grow when God provided 45 acres for what became Safe Haven Boys Ranch—a Christ-centered home where boys can heal, grow, and thrive. The long-term vision includes twelve homes serving up to seventy-two boys, with plans to one day establish a girls' ranch as well.
Jason and his wife, Ginger, have been married for 27 years and are the proud parents of four children.
