Welcome to the New Orleans Dream Center! We are a faith-based, non-profit, volunteer driven organization dedicated to helping care for the whole person – spirit, soul and body.

serving God reaching people serving community building lives

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Dream Center was founded to care for those who cannot care for themselves or do not have the resources to do so; the poor, the sick, the needy and the physically challenged. Our three prong approach of practical help, life fulfilling education and spiritual guidance help to lift the disenfranchised from the shadows of separation to hope and restoration.

Health care, adult education and after school programs are just a few of the services provided through the New Orleans Dream Center outreaches. Each year over 1,000 adults and children across all races and cultures are provided with free services. Home Mission Teams from across the nation are streaming into the city to help rebuild not only structures but also lives.

I invite you to be a part of a life-changing opportunity to serve alongside our teams and experience the joy of “serving” – it will change your life!

Director, New Orleans Dream Center
