Mission and programs · 2022

• THE DREAM CENTER DALLAS PROPERTY WAS ACQUIRED IN JANUARY 2020. WITH THE STRUCTURAL BUILDINGS IN COMPLETE DISREPAIR, DCD LAUNCHED ITS FIRST PROGRAM CALLED 'ADOPTABLOCK' IN MARCH OF 2020 AMIDST THE ADVERSITY OF THE COVID19 PANDEMIC. ADOPTABLOCK IS A PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES FRESH PRODUCE, HOUSEHOLD GOODS, AND HOME SERVICES TO THE LOCAL 75216 COMMUNITY THROUGH A DRIVETHRU EXPERIENCE. IN 2020, DCD DISTRIBUTED 42,150 MEALS THROUGH ADOPTABLOCKS IN RESPONSE TO COVID19.IN 2021 DCD BEGAN ASSESSING NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY BY GOING DOOR TO DOOR TO ASK HOW WE CAN ASSIST INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES.

WE WERE ABLE TO REPAIR HER FOUNDATION, BUILD AN ADA RAMP, EXTEND THE FRONT PORCH AND IMPROVE THE INSIDE OF THE HOME FOR HER TO LIVE COMFORTABLY.DCD CURRENTLY OPERATES A MOBILE PREGNANCY UNIT EVERY WEEK IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE DREAM CENTER. THIS UNIT OFFERS FREE PREGNANCY TESTS, STD SCREENING, SONOGRAMS, AND OPTIONS COUNSELING CONDUCTED BY A REGISTERED NURSE AND OBGYN MEDICAL DIRECTOR.AS THE BUILDING PROJECTS HAVE TAKEN TIME, PROGRAMS AND SERVICES HAVE FOCUSED ON AREAS THAT DON'T REQUIRE PHYSICAL BUILDINGS.
