The Dream Center!

        For one week, I will be serving the people of inner city Los Angeles California. I will be working together with a few members of our church youth group, and The Dream Center! Perhaps I shall give you a little bit of history on the Dream Center. 
        The Dream Center, a volunteer driven organization that finds and fills the needs of individuals and families alike, was founded in 1994 and currently serves over 40,000 people each month.
Services and programs offered include residential rehabilitation programs for teens and adults,a shelter for victims of human trafficking, a transitional shelter for homeless families, mobile hunger relief and medical programs, and a foster care intervention outreach that works closely with Los Angeles County’s Department of Children and Family Services to keep families intact by delivering the required furnishings, clothing and food to assure that their homes meet DCFS standards. Educational development programs such as adult basic education, job skills training and life skills counseling to homeless families and individuals continue to establish The Dream Center as a vital community development resource.
         While I am here, I will be volunteering alongside many of these services.

This is a not-so-good panorama picture that I took from my phone. But, be acquainted with about half of the Dream Center! Our team is stationed on the second floor.
