Each month we post a wish list for a different organization in town. It is our hope that people in the community who see this list might be able to help meet these needs in some way. If you have a wish list you would like posted, please send us an email with your attached wish list. If everyone gives just a little, we can help others.

Don't miss out on this GREAT cause!!
Founded in 1959, Peppermint Ridge is a non-profit organization with the mission of providing loving homes and empowering support services for individuals with developmental disabilities, gently guiding these special people toward greater independence and fuller community participation.
Because of the help from many churches, organizations, service clubs and a caring community, 94 men and women are able to call 'The Ridge' home. Others, who live in their own homes, are given support so that they can continue to live independently.
In 1945, when Bob and Mary Jeffery had a son, Roger, who was born with a variety of developmental disabilities, they could not find ANY program suitable to meet his needs. Taking the 'bull by the horns' they started their own program out of their home in Norco. Their reputation for providing an environment where children could reach their full potential brought many parents to them who sought help for their loved ones.
They expanded their home twice, but eventually ran out of room. In 1977, the main campus of Peppermint Ridge was moved to its current location in Corona.
A broad base of financial and volunteer support allows The Ridge to offer a wide variety of residential options and training opportunities for its clients. As a supportive and loving community which nurtures every member and encourages each one to become more self-sufficient and responsible, Peppermint Ridge is more than a place to live - it's "Home."Today, there are five homes on the main campus and six homes in the community.
