🌟GROWING TOGETHER - PEOPLE RECEIVING SERVICES 🌟
-
More people, more possibilities.
-
In the last decade, PCBDD enrollment grew by over 20% — and in 2024 alone, we welcomed 29 new people.
-
Looking ahead, we expect a 35% increase in the next 10 years due to expanded eligibility and rapidly rising rates of certain diagnoses, like Autism. We’re growing with our community — and we’re here for every step.

The Perry County Board of Developmental Disabilities (PCBDD) of Ohio provides supports to children and adults who have developmental disabilities.

FOOD ASSISTANCE IN PERRY &
SURROUNDING COUNTIES

The Perry County Board of DD is aware of the anticipated disruption to SNAP benefits beginning November 1. Like you, we are concerned about the potential impact this may have on the people and families we support. As part of our ongoing commitment to the community, Perry DD is joining efforts to address food insecurity resulting from this disruption.

We are sharing a list of blessing boxes, food pantries, free meal programs, and other food relief resources available throughout Perry County. These organizations are here to support anyone facing food insecurity, so that no one should go hungry.

While we’ve done our best to compile an accurate list, please note that hours and services may change. We recommend you contact each location directly to confirm details, including whether a photo ID or proof of residence is required.

🌟When Home Isn’t Enough - RESIDENTIAL PLACEMENT COSTS FOR INTENSIVE NEEDS🌟
-
Some needs go beyond the home.
-
For people with intensive needs, residential care can be essential — and expensive.
In some years, it’s cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to support just a few people.

These needs are growing, and so are the costs. We’re committed to meeting them with care and responsibility.
