Thanks to the Htown Dream center I was able to reunite with my children . I had almost lost all hope but decided to take a chance and enter the discipleship program.Not only was I able to restore and build a stronger relationship with my kids I also re dedicated my life to Christ and was able to build a close relationship with God . I also learned life long lessons , structure, good work ethics , and made great friendships along with helping give to our community!! They do so much for our community and always help the people who need it . I continue to help by volunteering and will forever be greatful for the experience they gave me and many many blessings!
The experience that H town dream center has brought to my family and the whole community Is amazing. God continue to bless and guide the pastors the staff the volunteers that put time heart day to make sure a child knows that someone loves them, that their is no greater love than our father Jesus Christ and that through him we can all come out of a dark place and be the difference choose right over wrong through all situations! Thank you, gracias muchas gracias
The H-Town Dream Center is such a blessing not only to me, also to those in the community. They over and above to meet the needs of others
HTDC is helping people so their community prospers. When our community members prosper, we all prosper. Society tends to shy away from helping the very people the HTDC reaches out to. Young women that have experienced abuse, neglect, and lived in an environment of substance abuse often repeat that cycle. They really don't know they can live a different way. HTDC helps break that cycle by showing hurting women and their children that Jesus loves them, even if their earthly families placed conditions on their love, Jesus doesn't. We all like to think "that could never happen to me" but we are all one life experience away from being vulnerable to hopelessness.

As a volunteer and board member for HTDC I have seen first hand the impact they have on the community. Food distribution 3 times a week, various community outreach events, and most importantly helping women and children in crisis by providing them an opportunity to avoid homelessness, providing them with life skills to stop the cycle of dysfunction, and give them hope that they can live a responsible and principle based life. The founders and their family are heavily involved in the organization, and they have outstanding support from businesses and other organizations within the community.
I Love Working At The Dream Center. Being Part Of A Nonprofit Who's Mission Is To Give The Hope, Healing and Freedom of Christ to the Most Vulnerable empowering them to become contributing members of society!! Over Two Years I have seen thousands of people touched by the greatness of God in one way or another. For that I will Be Forever Grateful ❤️.
I started volunteering with the H-Town Dream Center as part of the Astros Volunteers Foundation. On the first & 3rd Friday mornings each month, the Dream Center gets a delivery of approx 10 pallets of perishable foods from a Food Bank. The volunteers take the food off the pallets, bag the foods that need to be packaged, and load the foods into cars that drive by. There is a line of cars that are already lined up when I get to the Nelson Pools Distribution location around 7 45 am. We have a prayer to bless those families we are serving and start loading cars around 9 am. I have heard counts of over 150 cars and over 600 people who are benefitting from the food distribution.
It is a fun time to volunteer with other good hearted folks, and get to see the people we are helping, and to be encouraging to them as we load food into their cars.
I also volunteer at the Houston Food Bank at 610 & I-10 on the east side of Houston. It is a fun time also. But the added fun at the H-Town Dream Center is you get to see & encourage the people who are benefitting from the food.
There are usually around 12 to 15 volunteers.
We are outside - with popup tents for shade. But it is hot this summer - so, be prepared for the summer heat we have in the mornings especially from about 10 15 to 11 30 am as we finish distributing Food.
Come on out - it is a fun time volunteering with others & helping people get good food!
The H-Town Dream Center has been my home for the past six years. They have changed my life completely I went through the program graduated internship graduated and now on staff. They help me restore my relationship with my kids in my family. DH htown Dream Center considers me part of their family, and I couldn’t have been here without them. If you know someone struggling have them reach out to the H town Dream Center and we would be more happy to help because we are about healing hope and freedom.
The Dream Center is where my heart is. Everything I volunteer my soul refreshes. I love to know I am partnering hand in hand with the down to earth founders and the friendly staff to help women and children. Volunteers are always excited to help. If you want to volunteer, I invite you to do so at The Dream center and to this wonderful non-profit organization THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO & GOD BLESS!
Powerful ministry helping so many. The house broken women and children and help them become whole. They also feed the hungry and mentor at-risk youth. People are finding hope here!
The H-Town Dream Center continues to catch my attention. The work they are doing is so very much needed. I can’t wait to get an opportunity to volunteer some time there!
H-Town Dream Center is an amazing organization ran by Amazing people! Their focus on the community and the involvement they inspire is unparalleled. I love the variety they offer which provides so many opportunities for people of all ages to get involved as well as to be served. As a donor and volunteer it’s an honor to work with this organization!
H-town Dream Center is doing incredible work throughout the Greater Houston Area, helping rescue women and children from crisis. Not only do they talk the talk, but their entire team, including their founder, is on the front lines getting their hands dirty meeting the needs of their community. The depth and diversity of their outreach programs reach thousands of under-resourced people a month, providing the hope and freedom of God.
I have been a part of the H-Town Dream Center for almost 2 months now. It has been one of the most amazing opportunities I have been given for me and my children, and I couldn't be any more appreciative to Shawn and Shannon Nelson for allowing me to be a part of it. I have overcome so many struggles in such a short period of time and the best part, I have rededicated my life to the Lord and my 2 boys have been saved at the ages of 6 and 7 years old. Also, I have created a family with all of the other women and children that are a part of the program as well, and that is something that helps me through on a daily basis. This is such a unique, but wonderful program, that is giving me a chance to get back on my feet and give me the time to work on my relationship with God, focus on myself, and is letting me build a stronger bond with my kids that kind of got lost in all of my chaos. I definitely rate it 5 stars and would recommend it to any woman out there, with or without children, who is/are going through struggles or a hard time and just need a little help or a support system to get back on their feet.
The Dream Center is such a blessing to the community. I received food from their Food Pantry while I was out of work, a single mother of 4. I couldn’t have made it without their help. Now, I have a job and doing good and I take food to a few elderly that are in need of food.
Great Non-Profit to volunteer with. Great people, great Dream Team Volunteers. We Get To Serve… Would love to have you and your family volunteer at our Outreaches, Food Pantry, Events, Adopt A Blocks and many more opportunities to volunteer at.
