This is our city. This is our assignment. We will be joining together to help meet the needs of local schools for this serve day. We will be adopting Johnston Elementary, Ira B. Jones Elementary, and Hall Fletcher Elementary School to help with projects that include planting flowers, mulching, working with teachers on bulletin boards, and much more. This is our opportunity to help lift the load and bless the teachers and Principals of these schools. 
 

We believe in helping children in our city have every tool and resource possible to succeed in school. The Back-to-School Bash not only involves handing out backpacks and school supplies but also offering haircuts and clothing. The event is filled with fun activities for the day including bounce houses, water slides, a BBQ, face-painting, Shaved Iced trucks, and so much more!

We have a diesel coming with 90 beds for kids all over our city! We have been reached out to by families from all across our city in need of beds because kids are sleeping on the floor in their rooms. No child should go without a bed! We need all hands on deck to get these beds into our community!

On November 8, we are holding our Night of Dreams, a gala fundraiser where we will share the many milestones we have achieved over the past four years, and the many dreams we wish to see come true here in Asheville.                
Among our dreams is the building of a community center where kids can get tutoring after school, sports mentorship, coaching and performing arts exposure.  We have a one-year residential program designed to support men and women overcoming life-controlling issues in Los Angeles, and we would like to open one here. It is so necessary. We already have a program working with single parent family homes, filling in gaps, and providing necessities that we would like to expand.  There is SO-MUCH more!
Come learn about the Asheville Dream Center. We look forward to hearing from you soon, and would love to see you at Night of Dreams!

The Dream Center will host 75 families from the Adopt-A-Block sites for a beautiful evening with dinner and music to celebrate Thanksgiving together. This event takes place the Saturday before Thanksgiving and each family will receive a gift certificate to pick up their own Thanksgiving meal to have with their families the following Thursday. The Dream Center also provides professional family portraits and a fun kids area with crafts to celebrate thankfulness at this incredible event. We will need financial support and also volunteers to help serve the food, to decorating, hosting, and much more.  

Do you remember what it was like as a child to decorate your Christmas tree? There are many families that cannot afford a Christmas tree or decorations, much less toys for their children this year. The Asheville Dream Center believes in helping families create memories together that the children will remember for the rest of their lives. This year we will be giving families a Christmas tree with lights and decorations on December 14th!
