Welcome
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.

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."

Good things build on each other....

At the end of December 2007 at a gathering of family members, Robert Dudley and his wife Peggy, parents of a Rigger, heard about the need to open additional homes to serve adults with disabilities who are medically fragile.  This project is going to cost about $700,000 to complete. Seeing that the Wynn Foundation match campaign had prompted people to be very generous, they decided to issue a challenge to The Ridge Community.  If we would raise half, they would match it dollar for dollar up to $350,000.

As of May 21st, we have raised $250,000 in gifts and pledges and the first home is in escrow. This progress ensures that more residents who will benefit from a higher level of care can remain at the home they have known for so long.
