MSDC empowers individuals with disabilities through day services, employment, residential support, Head Start, and community programs across Marshall, Starke, Pulaski, St. Beginning in 1965, Marshall-Starke provided a wide range of rehabilitative services to developmentally disabled individuals. Adult services have further been enhanced through the promotion of community employment and the provision of valuable production alternatives for area business and industry which has resulted in positive and successful relationships in our communities. From these modest beginnings, Marshall-Starke branched into early childhood education for non-disabled and at-risk children through our Head Start, Early Head Start, and Healthy Families programs. The programs and services offered through Marshall-Starke and recognized by national accreditations, such as CARF and NAEYC, substantiate what recipients of our services have known for over 40 years that Marshall-Starke promotes a culture of compassion and a commitment to accountability.

I give because possibility is learning.
Every person deserves the chance to learn new skills, build confidence, and chase their goals — no matter their abilities. When you support MSDC, you’re not just giving a donation… you’re giving someone the opportunity to grow, to try something new, and to discover what they’re capable of.

Learning opens doors. Learning builds independence. Learning changes lives.
✨ YOU can help make that happen.

✨ Give the Gift of Possibility ✨
She wants to be a model — and look at her shine.

At MSDC, possibility looks different for everyone.
For her, possibility means stepping confidently into the spotlight… striking a pose… expressing herself… and seeing the beauty, strength, and capability she’s always had.

When you give, YOU help make dreams like this come true.
You help open doors to confidence, creativity, independence, and joy.
You help individuals see themselves in new ways — as artists, athletes, employees, performers, and yes… even models. 💙

This holiday season, you can be the reason someone discovers their potential.
You can empower abilities.
You can inspire independence.
You can strengthen community.
You can give possibility.

🎁 Shop With a Cop – Community Spotlight! 🚓💙
We’re excited to share this wonderful event from Plymouth FOP Lodge 195 & Emergency Services!

Their annual Shop With a Cop Auction goes live soon, and the impact this fundraiser makes is incredible. Last year, FOP Lodge 195 helped approximately 150 children shop for warm clothing, outerwear, and a toy. They also provided $75 gift cards to 77 seniors — and they even helped 25 of our very own individuals from Marshall-Starke Development Center who didn’t have family to share the holiday with. ❤️

This community continues to show what generosity looks like, and we are truly grateful for the support shown to our participants.

🛍️ Please consider browsing the auction and placing a bid — your support helps brighten the holidays for so many!

You can already preview some of the catalog, and bidding will open on November 18, 2025 at 12:00 PM. Items will begin closing on December 7, 2025 at 6:00 PM EST.

Last year the Plymouth Fop Lodge 195 took approximately 150 children shopping. Each child was able to spend about $125 on outerwear, warm clothing, and a toy. The experience of helping these children and meeting their parents and grandparents is incredibly heartwarming.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we also provided $75 gift cards to 77 elderly individuals. And that’s not all. Our community came together to brighten Christmas for more than 25 clients of Marshall-Starke Development Center, Inc. who do not have families to share the holiday with.

Please consider your bids a donation toward this year’s event and help make the holiday season happier for a child or senior in our community.
