Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Who We Are

Our History

Mariposa Ranch was founded in 2019 when our small town of Deming faced an influx of migrants seeking asylum. Through this, our little town showed that we can and will rise together and that though our town may be small our hearts are not.

Our Staff

Our team is made up of dedicated individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of those we serve. From case managers to outreach workers, we work together to provide comprehensive support to those who need it.

Our Partners

We are proud to partner with various organizations to provide the best possible support to our clients. From food banks to healthcare providers, our partners help us extend our reach and impact in the community and beyond.
