This week the New Dallas Based Dream Center will partner with local online retailer Shoebacca to bring over 1,000 pairs of new shoes and 6,500 apparel items for children in need during the Dream Center’s Back to School Event for South Dallas residents in need.
“Since we were founded, our company’s sole mission has always been to help our local communities and it remains our number one priority. We have loved working with the Dream Center over the years and are honored to be able to help, especially during Back to School when these families need the most assistance. We are so grateful to have this wonderful organization in our hometown.”- Ryan Schlachter, President, Shoebacca.com.
Los Angeles born Dream Center is an organization that helps underprivileged communities with everyday resources such as food, clothing, hotline services, crisis services, pregnancy management and more. The Dallas chapter recently purchased the Old Gospel Lighthouse in South Dallas and is currently raising funds for its 9-million-dollar renovation to be able to offer permanent resources for the area and its residents. The center is slated to open its doors in the Fall of 2024.
In partnership with several other local sponsors, the Dream Center’s Back to School Event will take place on August 5th at 10am in the parking lot of the Dallas community center. The event will give families the opportunity to attend and enjoy carnival games, food trucks and more while also stocking up on supplies such as backpacks, food, school supplies and shoes from Shoebacca.com.
“Shoebacca has been an incredible partner of Dream Center Dallas and the communities we serve. Families are struggling to make ends meet every single day while carrying the burden of getting their children ready for a new school year and lacking the resources to do so. Supplying new shoes and clothing for so many children will give them a boost of confidence and hope - we believe that when people have hope they can do ANYTHING. We are so grateful for this generous gift to our community!” - Kacie Kintz, Dream Center Dallas Director
