what we do

"Sometimes we ask for help and God gives us hope; not because it's different, but because it's the same" -Bob Goff

We have a variety of programming at the Springfield Dream Center which focuses on helping families achieve long-term stability. Each program provides either help for today or hope for tomorrow for the families we serve. All programs are free and open to those who qualify.
