Purpose
With the downturn in the national economy came added challenges for the Agency. Finding sources of funds to continue existing programs at their current level of funding or to expand these vitally important programs became paramount to Little Dixie's mission. The Executive Director of Little Dixie, with the Board's support, turned to KDC as the way to generate the funding needed to ensure the continued high level of performance of the Agency's programs.
Beginnings
Moving Forward
KDC opened the PC Service Center of America in Hugo, Oklahoma in May, 2004. The Center provides hardware, software, networking, programming, repair, and a host of other high tech services. This project is a first step in creating businesses capable of outsourcing for larger metropolitan companies across the United States. By building a pool of trained technical professionals, KDC will be able to attract high-tech business to Oklahoma and fulfill the needs of these companies here in this rural area. KDC knows that the talent pool is here and when the work ethic of our people is added to this equation, success is sure to follow.
