The Atlanta Dream Center Church was a home for Christmas this year
all thanks to you and your generosity. Because of your wonderful gifts we were able to celebrate Christmas with 150 men and women in homelessness. On December 19th, 2020 we held our very first "Home for Christmas" event and it was a huge success. But we didn't stop there. On December 25th, Christmas Day, we went out on the streets of Atlanta and celebrated with those who couldn't attend our event.
We want to say thank you for making this the best Christmas we have ever had.

Our mission was successful
"Home For Christmas" had three goals in mind: give men and women in homelessness an opportunity to enjoy a merry Christmas, experience the love of Christ and hear the Gospel. We accomplished that goal thanks to you!

Give a gift.
Every attendee on December 19th received a gift. We gave 85 gifts that day to those in homelessness. The building was filled with tears and laughter as people opened up their gifts together in celebration of Christmas. Then, on Christmas Day, we took the remaining presents to the streets of Atlanta to continue giving Christmas to those who don't have a home to celebrate

Show a way out.
Through our partners, we scheduled 8 people to get them off the streets immediately and we are looking to schedule even more. Every schedule meeting is an opportunity to end their homelessness for good!

Donate Today
Ambius
Our friends at Ambuis donated 4 perfect Christmas trees to lay the 150 presents under. Because of them and the hard work of volunteers, our church transformed from a sanctuary into a home for many.
M25 BBQ
M25 BBQ provided enough barbecue for 150 men and women along with volunteers who prepared side items and dishes for everyone who attended so that everyone could enjoy a Christmas Meal.
Our Children's Church
Celebrated with tears and a standing ovation from our friends in the streets, our children's church performed a Christmas play for all the attendees. Beyond the gifts and food, for many, this Christmas production was the most special part of the day.
