Dream Big, Peoria

“I’m excited about the revitalization taking place within Peoria.”
— Andy King, Executive Director

We are experiencing a freshness in people, neighborhoods and even the buildings within our community. This revitalization brings life to the long forgotten hopes and dreams of those people who deal with the stress of living with very limited resources and missed opportunities.

The purchase of the former YMCA building by Dream Center Peoria has encouraged revitalization within our community by housing programs which will empower people to recognize their potential, rebuild their lives and effectively change their future.

Dream Center Peoria has broad based support from individuals and leadership in commerce, civic and faith-based arenas. Nearly 150,000 sq. ft. is dedicated to rebuilding lives from the ground up, enriching and nurturing Peoria’s inner-city community. Many long-term problems are alleviated through programs offered by DCP.

I challenge you to make the decision and commitment to partner with us in “turning dreams into reality.”
