The Santa Shoppe Assistance Program is one of the most exciting and progressive programs offered by The Dream Center. This referral-based program allows qualifying parents in need to earn Christmas gifts for their children, instead of depending on organizations that provide gifts through one way giving.
Families needing Christmas assistance are referred to The Dream Center by their child's school. Parents are then required to attend free classes to earn a shopping voucher. Class topics include budgeting, parenting, Bible study, resume writing, health & wellness, healthy relationships & self-esteem.
The Dream Center also provides Santa Shoppe credit for attendance at pre-approved school family literacy nights, parent nights or parenting classes offered by Title One schools. Upon completion of required classes, parents make an appointment to shop in The Dream Center Santa Shoppe.
