what we do

"Sometimes we ask for help and God gives us hope; not because it's different, but because it's the same" -Bob Goff

We have a variety of programming at the Springfield Dream Center which focuses on helping families achieve long-term stability. Each program provides either help for today or hope for tomorrow for the families we serve. All programs are free and open to those who qualify.

To join our waitlist, an application must be completed in person with a valid photo ID during regular office hours.

This model is adapted to meet specific needs and implement programming with the resources available in the community. RISE is unique in its approach, offering a hand up rather than a handout.
