Message From Our Executive Director


“Let us put our heads together and see what life we will make for our children.”
                                                                                    --Sitting Bull, Lakota Leader

Welcome to our website! We are excited about our new presence on the web and hope that the information you find here will help you connect with our community…through locating resources or finding ways to participate and serve.

Our mission is to improve the lives of children, families and all who live or work in Pettis County. By coming together around issues that confront the people of our county, we are able to find ways to combine resources and improve lives. PCCP seeks to ensure that families can raise their children into adulthood—healthy, safe, educated and productive.

Pettis County is full of wonderful people with big hearts and willing hands who readily volunteer in countless ways. Perhaps you would like to lend a hand and make your own life better by reaping the rewards of volunteering. If so, here’s your connection.

We hope you will take time to browse through all the areas of the website and investigate  the many diverse things in which PCCP is involved. We also invite you to visit our offices and meet our staff whenever you are in downtown Sedalia.

We look forward to working with you to make this a better place for everyone.

Sincerely,

Cheri Heeren

If there is radiance in the soul, it will abound in the family.

If there is radiance in the family, it will be abundant in the community.

If there is radiance in the community, it will grow in the nation.

If there is radiance in the nation, the universe will flourish.
