This is Alicia during a Resident Picnic, deciding which colors she wants for her face painting.

Alicia loves meeting people—often greeting friends with a warm handshake or hug.

These moments don’t happen by chance. They happen because of community.

The National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities 2026 campaign, “We’re Here: Then, Now, Always,” reminds us that people with developmental disabilities have always been part of our communities and always will be.

At 𝐏𝐂𝐇:

💙 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧—In 1967, nine families came together to create something better for their children with IDD, determined to build lives rooted in dignity, not institutions.

💙 𝐍𝐨𝐰—Nearly six decades later, hundreds of residents are living happier, healthier, and safer—like Alicia, enjoying her home, her roommates, and time with friends at programs through the St. Louis Arc.

💙 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬—A house becomes a 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞. Protected. Included. Supported.

But “Now” and “Always” only exist because of you—supporters, advocates, donors, volunteers, and partners.

📍 Happy 314 Day, St. Louis! (Or Pi Day…if you prefer the math version.)

We certainly aren’t mathematicians, but 𝐏𝐂𝐇 happily celebrated all week long, following the lead of the-STL, because 2026 marks the 20th Anniversary of 314 Day in St. Louis!

Monday started off right with the best dessert west of the Mississippi—gooey butter cake and Ted Drewes Inc. frozen custard. 🍰🍦
We’re grateful local grocery stores like Dierbergs Markets keep these hometown favorites stocked!

Next came bagels and coffee from St. Louis Bread Company. ☕🥯 Yes…almost everything says Panera Bread, but if you’re from the 314, you know their real name.

We wrapped up with St. Louis–style pizza and toasted ravioli from Cecil Whittaker's Pizzeria. 🍕

PCH, gooey butter cake, Ted Drewes, Bread Co, and Cecil Whittaker’s—all proud to be !

How will you celebrate?

🚪 Not every doorway we widen has a door, like this cased opening. But these are just as important as the others for accessibility! ♿

Three women enjoy living here, two of them for more than a decade, and the narrow passageway to their bedrooms and bathrooms was becoming increasingly difficult to navigate.

In come 𝐏𝐂𝐇’s fabulously talented maintenance team, widening the opening from 30 inches to 42 inches! 👏

🖌️ The entire home is also getting fresh coats of paint. That floor transition wasn’t working either, so new floors are on the way… stay tuned! 🟫

This is our mission—keeping every 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 accessible, affordable, and well-maintained. 🏠💙💛

💜 Happy International Women’s Day (IWD)! 💜

𝐏𝐂𝐇 proudly honors Mary, who has called this community home for 28 years.

Every week, Mary walks from her neighboring house to the 𝐏𝐂𝐇 community center to enjoy activity programming with our wonderful friends at the St. Louis Arc, catching up with staff and friends along the way.

Mary’s joyful spirit fills every room with her infectious smile and laugh. She loves spending time with her two roommates and showing off new pictures and decorations in her room to anyone who stops by.

This year’s International Women's Day theme is “Give To Gain,” highlighting how generosity and collaboration create opportunities for women to thrive.

Because of your support of 𝐏𝐂𝐇, Mary has the stability of a safe, accessible home and the independence to stay connected to her community...

• A durable ramp leading right to her front door
• A bedroom she’s made her own with pictures, paintings, and trinkets
• New windows she can easily open to enjoy on nice days
• The friendships she enjoys every day

Your generosity helps make these moments possible.

When we give—through support, inclusion, and opportunity—women like Mary gain the chance to live fuller, happier, and more connected lives. 💜

This is Steve on the day of his housewarming—excited to set up his room, spend time with his roommate, and relax on his back porch watching cars go by.

That moment didn’t happen by chance. It happened because of community.

The National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities (NACDD) 2026 campaign, “We’re Here: Then, Now, Always,” reminds us that people with developmental disabilities have always been part of our communities and always will be.

💙 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐂𝐇 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦! 💙

Say hello to 𝐀𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐰𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐲, our Operations Manager at 𝐏𝐂𝐇.

Aaron joined PCH just over one year ago after returning home to St. Louis from Colorado, where he managed a resort in Estes Park—bringing with him strong experience in operations, hospitality, management, and project oversight.

Although he misses the mountains, coming home meant being closer to family, and when the Operations Manager role opened at PCH, it felt meant to be.

✨ “When I saw (an Operations position), I immediately applied, wanting to work for a nonprofit that’s directly helping people in our community.”

For Aaron, the most meaningful part of his role isn’t found in a spreadsheet or project plan.

✨ “The best thing, on any day, is meeting and interacting with our residents in their homes. Seeing them happy, excited to greet you, show you their space... it puts everything in perspective.”

We’re grateful for Aaron’s steady management, organization, and heart for our mission. 💙

Drop a note of appreciation below or give Aaron a shout-out when you see him! ⬇️

Nearly half of 𝐏𝐂𝐇 homes include a resident who uses a wheelchair—boosting mobility, independence, and well-being.

Some residents personalize their chairs with colors, grips, and storage to reflect their style.

Let’s keep removing barriers and creating communities where everyone can fully participate.

☮️✌️ 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨 𝐃𝐚𝐲! 🪷📼

On this day dedicated to nostalgia, 𝐏𝐂𝐇 is taking a look back, starting with the very first logo of Rainbow Village 🌈 and moving through the decades that shaped who we are today. 📷

From early advocacy and campus beginnings to milestone events, generous supporters, and long-time residents, every era tells a story.

To those who were there at the beginning, those who joined along the way, and those walking beside us now—thank you. 💙💛🏠

Because while styles change, 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭.
