What We Do
The Dream Center of Jackson uniquely houses women and mothers with children (boys must be 17 and under). We offer GED classes, job readiness, transportation, addiction-recovery programs, financial self-sufficiency classes, parenting, chapel, and other classes to serve our residents. We are blessed each and every day to see our residents and their children grow and learn what the love of Christ truly is.
Our residents are provided a solid foundation of financial freedom and stability, but even more importantly, they receive the spiritual coaching needed to let God guide their life. Residents attend on-site daily chapel in the morning and evenings and attend a church on Sunday morning. We provide an addiction recovery program with a Christ-centered system aimed at addressing the root cause of life-controlling issues. It is our goal and purpose to see the broken and lost women who have nowhere to turn to come to the Dream Center and end up finding an unexpected blessing in being introduced to Jesus’ love.
