Who We Are

The Kansas City Dream Center is committed to building long-lasting relationships that transform lives and create new beginnings. We focus on holistic care, addressing both immediate and long-term needs to foster sustainable change in our community.

Our Mission And Impact

Our mission is to serve and uplift the Kansas City community through compassionate outreach and dedicated service. Since 2018, we’ve impacted thousands of lives by developing meaningful relationships with those we help, addressing both their immediate and long-term needs. We focus on poverty alleviation, reducing hunger, and preventing homelessness.

Our Story

Established in 2018, the Kansas City Dream Center is part of the Los Angeles Dream Center Network which consists of over 100+ Dream Centers world wide! Our journey began with the simple mission of finding needs and filling them. In 2020, we moved our primary office to La Fe Church, continuing the legacy of H.W. Barnett, who served this community in the 1950s. Our programs include a food pantry, clothing closet, and monthly outreaches, all aimed at supporting our neighbors and those experiencing homelessness.

Our Vision For The Future

We envision a future where poverty is eradicated, hunger is reduced, and homelessness is no longer a reality in Kansas City. By partnering with multiple churches and organizations, we aim to provide both short-term relief and long-term solutions. Future plans include expanding outreach programs, adding mobile food pantries, foster care interventions, human trafficking rescue, disaster relief, and establishing cold weather shelters and transitional housing programs.

Our Staff

With unwavering dedication and a shared passion for service, they lead programs, support volunteers, and ensure that every effort reflects our mission to uplift the Kansas City community. Together, they work tirelessly to bring hope, build relationships, and create lasting change.

Our Programs

Our programs are designed to meet the diverse needs of our community, from alleviating hunger and providing clothing to hosting community events and outreach initiatives.
