Construction is underway on the first Dream Center in the Community. The Dream Center is an Outreach Center for the entire Oak Grove area, being built by S&T at no charge.

Dream Center programs include:

KidCare America - An after school program that tutors and mentors students for the Oak Grove schools who are struggling in their academic studies. They also offer nutritious snacks and activities, home visits and cooperative school visits. KidCare is currently housed at New Life Assembly of God Church in Oak Grove, but is limited with the availability of the rooms in the facility, at this time they are unable to add more students to the much needed program.

Adopt A Block - This outreach began over a year ago. The object is to pick a block and visit every household on that block once a week. Residents are give donated items, such as breads, cookies, light bulbs, etc. If their families have specific needs, whether material needs, or just a friendly smile we try to meet hose needs whenever possible.

Food Pantry - We would like to partner with the Community Service League providing a storehouse of food staples where struggling families could come and get supplemental food items to get them through difficult times.

Unwed-Mothers - Providing free counseling, resource information, baby needs such as diapers, formula, etc.

Clothes Closet - Providing new and used clothes to those in need.

Music - We have volunteers, providing free piano, guitar and voice lessons.

English as a Second Language - Classes are offered to provide the Spanish speaking community the opportunity to improve their English skills.

Youth - We would like to offer the youth of Oak Grove a safe and wholesome environment where they will be offered a variety of activities and entertainment geared to their needs and likes.

Life Skills - Our goal here is to equip families with ways to improve their overall home life. We will provide seminars on finances, marriage and parenting. Other vocational skills will be offered such as cooking, sewing, auto mechanics, etc.

Elderly - We want to provide for the elderly in our community free medical screening, lawn care service, snow removal, general household maintenance, and some transportation opportunities.

S&T intends to build additional Dream Centers in the Kansas City Metro area. The overall countless ways we want to meet needs in the community can be met and many lives can be turned around through these programs.

Donations are needed now. Please contact us if you can help in any way.
