“I never took the opportunity to serve anywhere else before I started serving with the Dream Center over 7 years ago. The first group my wife and I served on was the FeedMemphis Prep Team, we felt a sense of fulfillment, humility, and gratitude serving our community in need. It has made such an impact on our lives. Just knowing that we are making a difference feeding our city’s children and their families.”

Our Programs Are Designed To Meet The Pressing Needs Of Our Community In Memphis

21.7% of children in Shelby County are food insecure compared to the national average of 12.8%.
We’re Actively Closing The Opportunity Gap
Let’s face it. Life doesn’t hand everyone the same experience. Poverty is incredibly nuanced and doesn’t come packaged with a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s multi-generational, and in many cases, children in our community face an uphill climb that feels impossible. We call this chasm an opportunity gap. Unfortunately, it’s plagued our city for years. Don’t misunderstand — Memphis has rich traditions, history and culture. We love our city. Yet, Memphis is also home to families and entire communities that are still wrestling with this very gap.
That’s exactly why the Memphis Dream Center was founded — to offer a helping hand to parents, children, and extended families so they don’t have to stitch the seams of this well-worn gap back together all by themselves. We don’t hold all the answers, but we do believe everyone in Memphis should have equal opportunity and access to resources that make them feel seen and valued.
Over a decade ago, we set out to meet the emotional, spiritual, educational and physical needs of individuals in our city in a new way. The outflow of that desire birthed the Memphis Dream Center. It’s amazing to see what was initially just a vision transform into an entire team of staff, volunteers, donors and local partners working together to restore hopes and dreams.
This isn’t just a cause we care about. Our faith drives us to make an intentional difference in the lives of our neighbors.
Thank you for partnering with us in championing this incredibly gratifying mission.

“The Memphis Dream Center has been a huge help the past year with providing food bags for our students and families in need. The Collierville Schools Family Resource Center has been able to serve over 115 families per week since October 2021 for this school year. We appreciate all that you do!”
