2025 YEAR IN REVIEW

2025 was a “year for the books” in terms of increased needs in our community and seeing God’s work through Dream Center Peoria and partnerships with corporations, over 60 churches, foundations, and private individuals.  

We have seen 100+ students’ lives significantly impacted through Summer Camp and DCP’s After-school programs, which include multiple Trades courses.  

There have been over 1,050 unique guests who have lived in our 24/7 Emergency Shelter (including 14 couples from the encampments around the city).  Throughout the year, we averaged close to 150 guests per night.  

The Hope Store was open to more than 3,700 shoppers, and volunteers have handed out more than 1,200 bags of toiletry and hygiene items.  

DCP Mobiles provided over 650 haircuts, 1,300 meals, 56 showers, and washed over 50 loads of laundry.  

Between the Spring and Fall Serve the City dates, we sent out a total of approximately 375 individuals to serve at over 20 various project sites around the community.  

There have also been 14 young moms between the ages of 16-24 who have called Zoe House “home” as they settled into stability and genuine care for themselves and their babies.  

When the government paused snap benefits we rallied the community together and provided over 900 bags of groceries to hundreds of families in need.

We could offer up more statistics that are amazing, but instead, why don’t you take a few minutes to watch these videos showing firsthand how God has been at work in 2025....

Join with us in celebrating the lives changed in the past year and anticipating another incredible year in 2026.  Your partnership and support can make a long-term impact in the lives of all we serve.
