A heartfelt thank you to the Productive Living Board!

At their May board meeting, PLB approved over $31 million in total community investments supporting more than 4,600 individuals and families across St. Louis County. DGCKids is proud to be part of the community of organizations they trust to do this critical work.

PLB's publicly funded services help residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities live more independently and participate fully in their communities.

That mission runs parallel to everything we do at DGCKids every single day, where we provide services from birth through high school graduation to children who are blind or have a visual impairment, helping every child and family thrive.

We are grateful for partners like PLB who believe that every person deserves the opportunity to shine.

Thank you, PLB!
