Volunteer work will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., but volunteers should plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early at 1516 N Main Street to complete registration. In addition to the cleanup, Dream Center Evansville is working on other projects for the betterment of the neighborhood. Below are those projects. A project focused on helping those struggling with housing in Jacobsville. A beloved neighbor passed recently and in his honor, the Dream Center will be passing out meals and supplies to those struggling with housing. Neighborhood association president, Melissa Tines, and her family have started an initiative called Flower Power. Saturday, volunteers will leave a flower on every Jacobsville doorstep. Dream Center Evansville serves Delaware Elementary. They will be partnering with the school to clean up their courtyard. Jacobsville is a Superfund site designated by the federal government, meaning it has an ongoing lead exposure issue in our neighborhood. In partnership with IUSM, Vanderburgh County Health Department and the EPA they will be spreading mulch around several different homes in Jacobsville to help remediate lead issues and exposure.

Dream Center Peoria donates prom dresses to girls in the community
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — The Dream Center Peoria is helping teenage girls in the community 'say yes to the dress.' On Friday, March 14 the Dream Center will be hosting its annual PROMise of Hope event where girls can pick out prom essentials like dresses, jewelry, and shoes for free. All the items have been donated to the Dream Center by community members over the year for this event. Each girl will get a personal shopper to help them pick out the best dress. Plus, seamstresses will be available for on-the-spot alterations so that each dress is truly the perfect fit. Once a girl finds their dress, they can walk the red carpet with their new gown. This event is all a part of the Dream Center's mission to impact families — starting with kids and youth. 'Everything is free of charge. We want to give some financial relief to families as the economy has been a struggle for a lot of families, and they may not feel like they have anything extra for their daughter or their granddaughter to be ready for prom. This is another way that we can come alongside families,' The Director of Development for the Dream Center Peoria, Denise Bailey, said. She added, 'We love the opportunity to watch girls shop and pick a dress and walk away with the dress and a bag and a bag filled with accessories and feeling confident and that they are going to be the most beautiful that they can be the night of their own prom.' The event will take place at the Dream Center Peoria on 714 Hamilton Blvd. School Appointments: 9 a.m. – noon Sensory-friendly Appointments: 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. Public Appointments: 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. To donate items to the event, community members can visit the Dream Center Peoria website, email the organization, or call (309) 676-3000 to find a good drop-off time.
