Hope for the Holidays
Give hope this season — one meal,
one youth, one life at a time.
THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving Meal
November 27, 2025
At the Charlotte Mecklenburg Dream Center, we aim to transform lives by the power of the Gospel.
Our buses will bring guests from shelters, motels, and underserved neighborhoods across Charlotte to enjoy a meal served with dignity and grace. Together, we’ll share food, fellowship, and hope — reminding every guest they are seen, valued, and loved.
Just $5 provides a meal for one neighbor and $1,000 feeds them all. Will you help us set the table?

Pathway to Purpose
This Christmas, make a lasting impact on a Dream Center Youth student who is showing up, growing in faith, and choosing a better path.
Our goal is to sponsor 50 youth at $100 each. A $100 gift directly sponsors a student actively engaged in our programs — helping them continue their journey of faith, leadership, and purpose.
You’re not just giving a gift — you’re investing in their Pathway to Purpose
Make it Home
After seasons of homelessness, our Discipleship residents are stepping into homes of their own — many for the first time in years. You can help make that space truly feel like home by giving toward the essentials that bring warmth, stability, and grace.
