2022—Lions Meadows of Hope (LMOH), a licensed foster care
agency, formally known as the Oklahoma Lions Boys Ranch until 2015 received a generous
donation of $5,000 from Janzen Toyota with a match from Toyota for an additional $5,000. The
generous support from Janzen Toyota was matched 1:1 by the Paul Millburn Gift fund, which
doubled the impact of the original gift of $5,000 ($10,00 with Toyota Match) to $20,000. Lions
Meadows of Hope is grateful for the ongoing support of Janzen Toyota. These funds will
continue to support our foster care services, both on our Paul and Ann Millburn foster care
campus and private foster homes in our surrounding communities.
Lions Meadows of Hope is located in downtown Stillwater and our foster care campus and
Family Center is located at 750033 US-177, south of Perkins. Donated by the Main family, the
160-acre land was given for the purpose of providing a home for families to love and foster
children. Their vision was for this land to provide an opportunity for caring individuals to have a
place to serve children and, ultimately, provide refuge for foster children. Formerly known as the
Oklahoma Lions Boys Ranch until 2015, LMOH is a foster care agency and official project of the
Lions Clubs of Oklahoma.
The Family Center is LMOH’s next step in its commitment to serving foster families well and
providing a place to gather. It will include office space, a conference area, and space
dedicated to counseling services. There are also plans for the facility to build an outside
playground, basketball court, and pavilion. The expected completion date for the Family Center
is set for August 2022.
“We were a children’s home in the beginning, but on this campus, there are five homes for
families who foster and keep brothers and sisters together,” said Bryan Larison, LMOH executive
director. “The new Family Center will be a place for our families to gather for various activities
including birthday parties, foster parent training, karate classes, a cookout and more. Foster care
can often feel like a lonely process, and our vision is to create an environment where those
children and families know they belong. Our 160-acre campus will be a place of safety, learning,
community, fellowship and healing. Truly a meadow of hope.”
