Augusta Dream Center

Today's good mood is sponsored by caffeine 😉✨

We invite you to visit our Food Pantry... just not this Thursday 🥬🍞🍎 We provide both fresh and easy-to-prepare meals to anyone in the CSRA who is struggling to put food on the table. While our Dream Pantry is typically open every Tuesday from 10 am to noon and on Thursdays from 5-6pm, we will have limited availability for the month of December due to holiday closures.

Please swipe to take a look at our December and January calendars to prepare for upcoming closures!

"God knows when it’s the best time to answer your prayers. If you’re in the season of waiting, keep seeking Him. Delight yourself in the Lord and watch how you’ll no longer be just waiting, but moving by faith."

Important December Update: we have limited programming this month ✨

Every Sunday, we open our doors to the public for our Clothes Closet, and a hot meal served to our community from 5PM – 6PM. If you're interested in joining us, please do so tonight or on the 17th! Due to the holidays and some private events, we will be closed during some of our regular programming this month.

Please swipe to take a look at our December and January calendars to prepare for upcoming closures! Should you have questions, you are more than welcome to send us a DM or give us a call.

Thank you for your understanding!

Our hearts are full of gratitude 🫶 We are thrilled to announce that we exceeded our November match goal! Thanks to your kindness, we received $27,955 in donations and every cent up to $25,000 will be matched by a generous donor. These funds allow us to support more individuals and families in our community in addition to Phase II of renovations at the Dream Center.

So far this year, we have provided 2,800 meals to members of our community through this Sunday Night experience, and every bit of support helps! To our volunteers and our donors, thank you for your continued generosity, and to our community thank you for trusting us to serve you.
