Christmas Store

Christmas is not a very happy time in the inner city.  It is a time where many parents feel like they fall short of society’s standards and cannot meet the needs of their families.  No one likes to let their child down, especially at Christmas time, yet this is a burden that the moms feel overwhelmed by each year.  It is already a struggle to put food on the table and to clothe the children and then Christmas arrives.  How can they give their child a Christmas gift when they can’t even supply them with enough food so that they do not go hungry?
This is where the Dream Center tries to come in and help alleviate their problems.  Each year we provide a no cost Christmas store to give inner city moms the chance to be able to give their children at least one gift for Christmas.  The moms come in and get to pick out one big gift for each child, a small gift, clothing, and lots of stocking stuffers.  This is our most anticipated event of the year.  The moms are so overwhelmed by the generosity–they leave with a completely new demeanor on their faces. 
You can help these families by donating toys, new coats, teen gifts, or give a monetary donation.
