How does this all work?
The Parkville Living Center (PLC) is in the start-up phase of non-profit development. We are hosted by Parkville Presbyterian Church and are working to develop our board, bylaws and other organizational structure. We have the support of many local organizations as well as community leaders and individuals. We are just weeks away from establishing our own 501c3, and with your help we aim to build a dynamic and diverse Living Center.
The PLC communicates and is organized in a few different levels: Leadership, Outreach, Operations and Support.
We recognize the dynamic nature of community involvement, with competing interests pulling you in 100 different directions. Here at the PLC we aim to build a community of support and connection. It is our job to communicate, create space, be present and above all value the individuals who make up our community. In this community, no one gift is greater than another. Yet we adhere to organizational and communal best practices, which have varying levels of communication and participation – below we outline those levels and participation opportunities.

Our story - always being written
How We Got Started
We got our start during the pandemic, out of a recognition that our immediate world is shrinking and in that is an opportunity to match community needs with community resources. As a member of Parkville Presbyterian Church, founder Marcus Flores saw opportunity where need and resources collide.
Where We Are Now
Confident of the need and the resources available, we are building a coalition of leaders, members, partners and support, to be the heart and soul of the Parkville Living Center. Read more here.
