🌟DCA Student Highlight🌟

Isaac has been part of the Dream Center family for 6 years now, and it has been incredible to watch his journey unfold. Over the past two years in particular, something has really shifted in him. He hasn’t just grown, he has stepped into leadership in a way that is impossible to miss.

You can see it in the hours he has given so freely. Over 50 hours of community service poured into the Dream Center and the North Springfield community. More than 10 hours spent sitting with and reading to our elementary students, showing up with patience and care. And even during our last spring break camp, Isaac didn’t just attend, he served as a part-time teacher, helping lead and support the next generation.

Through all of it, Isaac has consistently shown exemplary character, respect, and kindness to both his teachers and his peers. He has been steady, dependable, and deeply thoughtful in the way he carries himself.

We are so proud of Isaac as he graduates from our DCA High School Program. While graduation is a milestone, it doesn’t feel like an ending for him. Isaac plans to continue serving and will even be stepping into a part-time teaching role here at the Dream Center. His story here is not closing, it is just beginning to unfold in a new way.

🌟 Program Highlight - Diaper Bank 🌟

Did you know our Diaper Bank program has been updated?

Families can now pick up diapers once per month for children in their home under age 3. Our Diaper Bank is open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM–12:00 PM.

While diapers are the practical need being met, one of the things we love most about this program is how relational it has become.

Families aren’t just picking up diapers and leaving. Over time, names are remembered, conversations continue, and genuine relationships are built. Parents are often surprised when volunteers remember them month to month, and there’s always a chorus of families asking, “Where’s Sue?” when she happens to miss a day.

Each month, around 70 households visit our Diaper Bank, and we’re grateful to create a space where families feel known, welcomed, and supported.
