Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Adopt-A-Block
The Adopt-A-Block program visits select under-resourced neighborhoods every month. We clean up the neighborhood, distribute food and hygiene items, and simply find a need and fill it. Other services offered are in the areas of emotional, physical and spiritual support.
Kidz Jam
The Kidz Jam program partners with the Adopt-A-Block ministry to be a consistent and positive presence in the lives of the youth of the neighborhoods in which we serve. We have games, crafts, and various other activities to engage children of all ages.
Clothing closet
Our clothing ministry provides free clothing by appointment only. Guests are allowed to shop two times per month.
Homeless Outreach
We serve those experiencing homelessness monthly with food, clothing, prayer, relationship and other needs as requested.
Food Pantry
Our food pantry provides free food to anyone in need by appointment only. Guests are allowed to shop two times per month.

Financial data
Kansas City Dream Center CO
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
