The Greater Pleasant Grove Development Corporation (GPGDC) is a non-profit organization focused on providing a continuum of support for families in eastern Wake County.
Please take time to explore our innovative community programs.
The Greater Pleasant Grove Development Corporation grew out of the work of a group of individuals from Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. The church had served Wendell and the East Wake County area for more than 150 years.
Along with traditional spiritual development, it was already involved in food distributions to area families, youth enrichment services, Bible studies
and other outreach ministries.
The after-school and mentoring programs of the East Wake Leadership Academy are designed to provide ongoing academic, social, leadership, and behavioral support to kindergarten through eighth-grade students in eastern Wake County.
Summer camp is a five-week adventure of special activities, academic refreshing, indoor and outdoor games -- and field trips. We provide breakfast, lunch and morning and afternoon snacks.
The Pride for Parents (PFP) Christmas Store supports families in our community by providing new toys and at thrift store prices for qualifying families during the Christmas season.
