ABOUT

PGCCDC

PGCCDC exists because Prince George's County residents deserve a real voice in decisions about their health, their neighborhoods, and their future. We connect residents to better health outcomes, healthy food access, and fitness opportunities, alongside economic and educational programs that open doors to real opportunity.

From Oxon Hill to Laurel to Capitol Heights to Bowie to Forestville to Largo to Seat Pleasant, along with the other 20 municipalities, we will crisscross the county to make it a better place to live for and with our fellow residents. We are here to make a difference, so reach out to us to discuss being a partner, a client/customer, or someone who also has a similar mindset as what we are set up to do.
