The overall purpose of Daniel Boone Development Council is to assist area residents in acquiring or gaining self-sufficiency. Over the years DBDC has achieved this purpose by offering a range of services designed to identify and address community needs. Once needs are identified, DBDC plans, organizes, and involves various stakeholders so that needs are met, and lives are changed. Daniel Boone strives to ensure that citizens have access to, knowledge of, and equal opportunity in programs directed toward low-income individuals and families.
