Right now, there are children in Dubuque experience hunger and food insecurity – causing struggles in learning, well-being, and behavior that last a lifetime.
Right now, there are children in Dubuque lack the direct support, character building enrichment, and extra guidance they need to realize their own worth and potential.
At the Dream Center, we believe that Dubuque is the kind of community that believes in the future of the dreams of all our children.
Since 2013, the Dream Center has grown from serving 15 students to 190. Not only do students receive round-the-clock in your life mentoring and support from the Dream Center, school and parents, they participate in athletic and arts programming that provides enrichment and incentives to succeed.
From serving 43,000 meals/snacks a year, to investing thousands of hours into each of our students, the Dream Center is positively transforming lives.
The Dream Center received its license as a childcare in 2022. Families that are low income and meet DHS criteria, receive child care assistance from the state of Iowa to cover their student fees. There are also families that are able to afford some or all of their student fees. However, the vast majority of our families do not qualify for child care assistance and cannot afford to pay the fees associated for their students to attend our programming. THESE are the students that need your help!
We are asking you to become a Dream Maker!
