The Central Florida Dream Center

The Dream Center (CFDC) - is a One-Stop Community Center housed in our 46,000 sq. ft. facility where hope becomes a waking dream.  CFDC is a non-profit (501c3) organization that partners with other organizations to impact the region. 

The facility is located in the heart of inner-city Sanford, FL where crime, abuse, and poverty run rampant.   The CFDC programs and services has been proven to reduce crime in the community.  Currently in the community served by the CFDC 9 out of 10 children are fatherless.  To give significance to this statistic here are some disturbing statistics:

• 90% of runaway children are from fatherless homes

• 71% of high school drop-outs are from fatherless homes

• 85% of youth in prison are from fatherless homes

• 90% of inmates on death row are from fatherless homes

The Dream Center's goal is to break this cycle and offer services ranging from mentoring programs for adults and families to after-school programs for the children.  Our mission is to empower families and individuals to self-sufficiency so that they can become contributing members of society. 

In a community where the local drug dealer is often the only male role model figure a young person has; you can see why the need is so great for an organization such as this.  By following in the footsteps of similar organizations the Dream Center has already reduced crime in the community, but much more needs to be done.

By providing a "hand-up" as oppossed to a "hand-out" the Dream Center makes long-term changes in the lives of those who are serious about improving their situation.

Please take time to consider what talent, treasure, or time you have to donate to the Central Florida Dream Center and join us in improving the world around us.
