The GPCDC was founded by Rickey Johnson. He is an ordained minister, multiple business owner and author. As an author, Rickey Johnson has written several books entitled, "The DNA of Prosperous People , Success Runs in the Bloodline, Man to man Real Answers About Manhood.

Also, Rick Johnson has pooled several business professionals from around the country to write the "The Entrepreneur University" - designed to aide people in the area of financial literacy.

It is the GPCDC desire to continually maintain an understanding of the needs of the people and expand the vision for a healthier community.

For example, in March 1999, we distributed over 1,000 articles of "new" clothing to at-risk children , many of whom area product of the Foster Care program, Welfare recipients, live in an environment of physical or substance abuse, or are enslaved by economic poverty.

The GPCDC has worked closely with local business and financial institutions in laying its foundation.

From the assistance of the several churches, business, personal sponsors and volunteers, many people have been touched through food and clothing distribution, parenting and family seminars, and resources.

Through our many partnership, we have been able to give away $125,000 worth of clothing, school supply, toys, etc.
