Platte County Connections (PCC) is the nonprofit arm of Platte County Board of Services (PCBS). While PCBS provides core services, supports, and community funding as Platte County’s Developmental Disabilities Resource Board, PCC helps fill the gaps when traditional funding sources fall short. Together, they work to make sure individuals with developmental disabilities and their families have the resources, opportunities, and support they need to live meaningful, connected lives and truly thrive.

Check out this great interview featuring PCBS CEO Martha Jaynes and Ron Catayoc, the namesake of the Catayoc Endowment Fund, as they share more about the mission, impact, and heart behind Platte County Connections!
