Outreach

Acquire a genuine compassion for people and a desire for service

DCLS students are part of a movement that is visibly and tangibly changing the atmosphere of one of the most influential cities in the world. Outreach is not something we have to do, it’s something we get to do. We believe true success is found in helping others. The Dream Center lives this through our many outreaches and ministries on a daily basis. 40,000 people are reached every month!

Adopt-A-Block

Adopt-a-block is famously known for being the heartbeat of the Dream Center. Every Saturday our students go out to 15+ sites throughout Los Angeles and build relationships with people. They get to love and serve these communities by knocking on doors, picking up trash, spending time with the kids and sharing the love of Jesus.

Turkey Giveaway

Every year, the Dream Center has its Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway event. It is such a fun and unique way to bless our local community. We get to hand out 750+ turkeys to families in need and our students get to take part in this by lending a helping hand. This is great a way for our students to experience the joy of blessing others.

Skid Row Outreach

On Tuesday and Friday nights, the Dream Center sends a team to Skid Row to hand out food, water and basic necessities to people experiencing homelessness. The consistency of this outreach gives our students the opportunity to serve and build relationships with hurting people. It’s incredible to watch our students invest themselves into something they care about.

Ministry Tracks

Every afternoon, Tuesday through Friday, our students get to be involved in one of our many Ministry Track opportunities where they get to invest their time and selves into the ministry. Learn more.

Bike + Toy Giveaway

Christmas is one of our favorite times at the Dream Center because we get to give away 2,000+ bikes and toys to kids from our community and Adopt-A-Block sites. This time is so special as we get to love on the families in our community and provide them with gifts they may not be able to get on their own.

Backpack Giveaway

Just a few weeks before the start of the upcoming school year, the Dream Center partners with the Los Angeles Dodgers to give away 2,500+ backpacks filled with school supplies. These backpacks get handed out to kids in families that may not be able to purchase these basic school needs. We also make it a big fun-filled day by including a free clothing giveaway, haircuts, food and so much more. Just another great way we choose to love on our community.
