About Adventgm.com
Advent's roots go back to the 1930's, during the Great Depression, when Aunty May and Uncle Mack McLean decided to open a shelter for boys from broken and poverty-stricken homes. The couple ran the home much like a country orphanage, with the help of Ina Matheson, the wash lady. At that time, they were able to take up to 20 boys, ages 6-18. This was the original Summit Ranch, at the summit of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
