Though floodwaters had cut off their own home, they launched one of Asheville’s first major distribution efforts, providing food, water, and essentials to those in need.</p> <p>Founded in 2020, the Dream Center’s mission is to meet the physical and spiritual needs of people impacted by addiction, trauma, poverty, and crisis. After Helene, that mission became more urgent than ever.</p> <p>Under their leadership, the Dream Center partnered with over 60 churches and nonprofits to serve the hardest-hit communities. They’ve provided thousands of meals, distributed nearly 5,000 toys and coats for Christmas, delivered blankets and clothing, and placed 26 families in temporary RV housing—while already rebuilding homes for others.</p> <p>"At the end of the day, the Dream Center is always about finding a need and filling it," Michelle said. Michelle and Matthew, your faith, vision, and compassion have been a beacon of hope. We are honored to name you Hurricane Heroes.</p> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
