Mission Statement
The DeSoto County Dream Center's mission is to focus on Title 1 school students & their families by providing them with food, clothing, quality healthcare and educational assistance.
About This Cause
The Desoto County Dream Center located in Horn Lake, MS exists to help the underserved of Desoto County Dream Again! The Dream Center spreads Christ’s love and builds hope to the underserved in our community by providing food, clothing, quality healthcare, and educational assistance to Title 1 school students and their families. The Dream Center ministers locally to our community through our food and clothing pillars. The Adopt-A-Block Program is where we send small groups of volunteers to neighborhoods in the county that are made up of the students/families from the Title One schools. The volunteers build relationships with the families by doing various activities such as play games, work on homework, and spend time getting to know the families and their needs. As they identify the needs of the family, we can fulfill the needs such as education, health, food, and clothing through the resources at the Dream Center. In addition, we have an Emergency Needs Closet that is open once a week. This closet meets the needs of those going through a crisis until they can get connected to a more permanent solution. Our food and clothing pillars are also implemented through large outreaches such as our Thanksgiving Meal Giveaway, Winter Wonderland and Backpack Giveaway. Trinity Health Center provides affordable quality healthcare to help those in need. Trinity exists to serve the working uninsured and aims to inspire health and healing through faith-based healthcare. The medical staff provides Primary Care services such as: physicals, wellness and nutrition education, support, prayer, and spiritual assistance, and so much more. The Dream Center offers two programs for Title 1 students in DeSoto County. The Elementary Education program focuses on 3rd-5th graders, providing reading and math enrichment through game-based activities and homework assistance. The Leadership Program serves middle and high school students using leadership materials in small group environments to help develop strong character traits and help prepare the students for a successful future. These programs have been a vital part of a rise in school grades, improved behavior in the classroom, and an increase in self-confidence of the children who regularly participate.
