Our History:
The Perrysburg Heights Community Association (PHCA) was founded in 1991. With broad based community support, the PHCA established a Community and Education center with an attached gymnasium, surrounded by a five-acre park. Over the course of more than two decades, the PHCA has provided educational, recreational, and other essential supportive services to thousands of children and their families. With an emphasis on early childhood interventions, these services have included, among others, daily after school reading interventions and homework help, enrichment activities, both onsite and offsite, services for students with developmental disabilities, youth and adult athletic activities, parenting classes, a mobile medical clinic, a food bank, and summer educational, reading, and enrichment programs.
