The Dream Center addresses this need by distributing food to individuals and families through multiple local distribution sites. On average, our food programs feed more than 20,000 people monthly. Over the course of a year, more than 500,000 bags of groceries are distributed.

Tired, disoriented, worn down by life. I simply asked him, “How’s everything going?” His response was blunt: “I just want to slap someone.” Without thinking, I looked him in the eyes and said, “Well, if you’re going to slap someone, slap me.” He stopped. Stared. And then—he laughed. Right there, something shifted. That one laugh led to a conversation about life, about pain, and eventually, about God. That single moment reminded me of what The Dream Center has always been about. For 31 years, we’ve been showing up for moments just like that. Now, we are just two weeks away from Night of Dreams —our biggest fundraising event of the year, held at the Beverly Hills Hotel. This night carries so much weight, not just for keeping the mission going, but for expanding—adding more beds, reaching more people, helping more tired, wandering souls like the man in the park. From September 3–17, every donation we receive will go toward a special opening total we will reveal during the event—a virtual “first offering” that will inspire the entire room. You can donate today, tomorrow, or anytime over the next 14 days. But please, as you read this, would you pray—and consider being part of something that could change a life forever? Thank you for standing with us. With gratitude, Matthew Barnett Co-Founder, The Dream Center Want to read more about the miracles happening in LA?

Like a fighter in the final round, LA has weathered storms of pandemic, fires, and unrest. But this city has always been sacred ground for revival and transformation. At The Dream Center, we witness daily miracles in the heart of LA. From Skid Row to South LA, we see an unprecedented hunger for hope and healing. For three decades, we’ve believed in LA’s comeback story, serving as a sanctuary where broken lives find new beginnings. This 4th of July, as you celebrate our nation, consider joining us in LA’s renaissance. Something remarkable is stirring here – not another story of chaos, but one of miraculous transformation rising from the trenches. Your support helps write this new chapter of hope.

A young man who graduated from our program was strumming a guitar as his mentor guided him through the art of songwriting. Doctors once said this young man shouldn’t be alive. For years, he survived day-to-day on 200 mg of Adderall while his body slowly broke down. Now, there he was—writing his very first song sober. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, “I can’t believe this is happening. I never thought I’d have victories beyond just getting free.” His song will soon be released, and every time I think about it, I’m reminded of what your giving makes possible. But July was a slower month financially, and we need to finish strong in August to make it through the tough summer months. When you give, you’re not just meeting needs—you’re unlocking potential. Please, give your best gift today and help someone else look at their life and say, “I can’t believe this is happening.” Pastor Matthew Barnett Want to read more about the miracles happening in LA?

Building a work in this city always comes with its own set of struggles. Renovating and purchasing our building was a steady, ongoing battle. But the last six years have been something else entirely—layered with one major challenge after another, including pandemics and devastating fires in Los Angeles. Recently, I was driving down the famous Hollywood Freeway when I looked up at the Dream Center, sitting high upon the hill. Beneath it, a wall was covered in graffiti, filled with countless messages. Yet above it all, the Dream Center stood tall. When I saw that picture, I thought about you—our amazing friends who continue to give and support. My heart warms knowing that a place like this can do what it does every single day because of people like you. The Dream Center is truly the people’s movement. Without government funding, we have not only survived—we have surged. Now, we are entering a new season of growth. From the depths of my heart, thank you for keeping this “city on a hill” shining bright. I love you, and I am grateful for every gift that makes this miracle possible.
