Get to know Dave and Becky Hedman, some of our most faithful volunteers. They serve every Thursday in our Pantry without fail!
DAVE HEDMAN
Q: How did you get involved with the Kansas City Dream Center?
A: I heard about the Dream Center through our church, @lifemission.church. It`s one of the missions they help support.
Q: Why do you serve here?
A: When I retired, one of my goals was to volunteer to help people in need. The Kansas City Dream Center gives me the opportunity to serve people in need of food and clothing. Each person that comes through our doors matters to God, and they matter to us. It`s such a joy to serve along with the other workers and the fellowship and friendships that have been made over the years.
Fun Fact: I love outside adventures. I owned and rode a Harley Davidson motorcycle for 15 years, and I also went snow skiing in Colorado to celebrate my 70th birthday!
BECKY HEDMAN
Q: How did you get involved with the Kansas City Dream Center?
A: I heard about the Kansas City Dream Center through our church at Life Mission in Olathe which helps support this mission. I always wanted to do volunteer work after I retired and Dream Center just seemed to be a great place to help those in need.
Q: Why do you serve here?
A: I love volunteering with the wonderful people who work there and the friendships we have established with each volunteer. They all are very supportive to those in the community and my passion is helping people who are in need and homeless
Fun Fact: I love historical homes, how they lived life in the 18th to 19th century back in the Victorian days, reading, and watching movies during that period.

We’re so thankful for all of our volunteers who went out on Street Outreach with us on Saturday! We could not reach as many as we do without every single one of you. We’re blessed to have so many amazing and faithful volunteers.
Thank you to London Heights Baptist Church for providing 250 meals for those living on our streets as well!

This was shared with us by a pastor who came to us for some items for someone in need:
“Thank you for your overwhelming generosity and availability. I couldn`t be more thankful for seeing Christ in you this past couple of weeks.
Because of the high number of items you were willing and able to help with, one of our ladies stayed with the recipient and helped her organize and put everything away and in doing so built a high level of trust.
The recipient asked us for a ride to church this Sunday for her and her 3 kids. We also have someone taking her to another appointment next week at the Salvation Army where they will help her with a dual program that involves job placement and childcare.
All relationships that God has orchestrated and made possible because of us being able to fill up some basic needs. Without your partnership, we could never have scratched the surface of what was provided.
I hope you share this story with your team because you are not just giving away free stuff. You are giving hope, you are giving margin, and you are giving people new life...by the power of the God who gives YOU strength.
Love you guys!”
