The Dream Center Annual fundraising dinner was held at the First Methodist Church in downtown Jackson. The vision for The Dream Center’s new building has begun with the procurement of land on Oil Well Road adjacent to the Assembly of God Church.

Currently the funds raised are at approximately $1.7 million with eleven acres as the site plan. Phase one will secure a foundation. Phase two involves building 12 rooms attached to a main center building. The third phase is to expand the various aspects of program support, education and program development.
There is a need for a safe, secure environment where women and their children can get a re-start on a better life in our community. The services offered are: coping skills and extended support, overcoming co-dependency in the 180-degree program, computer skills, budgeting, hygiene and healthy lifestyle, cooking and nutrition, and Bible classes.
