Mission Statement
The Brazoria County Dream Center provides avenues of healing to the souls of hurting humanity in Brazoria County, Texas. We address both the physical and emotional needs of the community. We accomplish this by focusing on: rebuilding hope, renewing lives, and restoring dreams.
Dream Pantry
The Dream Pantry is designed to look like a Grocery Store, where individuals are issued a Digital E-Card with points uploaded every month. Each household is issued 1 card and are responsible to budget their points throughout the month. Families can visit the Dream Pantry once a week. We have designated Thursdays for seniors (60 yrs. old and older) to have a safe place to shop.
Backpack Buddies
Backpack Buddies provides nutritional food to school age children who are going hungry over the weekend. School personnel refer students who show signs & symptoms of hunger. We serve in 6 School Districts and 31 schools within Southern Brazoria County.
Enhancing an individuals' potential to succeed, through educational classes and other resources that will improve basic life skills. Due to COVID19, we are unable to conduct workshops in 2020 and 2021
