If wishes were fishes,
we’d all cast nets into the sea…
A lilting line from an Australian folk song illustrates eternal optimism as an empty net is cast upon a sea teaming with bounty. It is this image that prompts us to cast our net upon you, our most beloved and faithful supporters.
We recognize there are many worthwhile charitable groups in our community deserving of your support. Today we cast our net, not in search of fish, but in materials and supplies needed to operate Penuel Ridge 365 days a year. Below, you will find our “wish list” of items. By purchasing an item or two on a regular basis and donating it to Penuel Ridge, you can in essence reduce our operating costs.
Thank you for considering this creative way to support our mission.
