 Providing New Bedding, Caring

and Love to Children in Transition
The Gifting Event at Alamosa with the Rocky Mountain District Kiwanis Governor, Kathy Lee
A Volunteer Shared:

"My family just got done volunteering at a Gifting Event.  What an evening!  I know you try and explain what a Gifting Event would be like at the little break time at Pack & Pray, but no one could ever explain how much of an impact these beautiful Sweet Dream Bags have on these children.  To see them walk in the door and see all the bags their eyes just light up, they can't hardly contain their excitement.  The time we spent with the children and the Mom was priceless.  Thank you for allowing us to help with such an awesome project.  We will be talking about this for a long time as a family!  We will be back to help!"

Thank you Everyone!
Sweet Dream made the GOAL!!

 

Thanks to everyone who helped double the donations with the Matching Grant from
THE DTC KIWANIS CLUB

With these funds we will be able to gift 200 more children with their own new Sweet Dream Bag!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Sweet Dream has had wonderful Gifting Events in Alamosa, Ft. Collins, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and around the Metro Area....to see this many children getting new bedding that will  keep them warm and comfy this winter just fills your heart with JOY!!  Sweet Dream is so thankful for all the wonderful volunteers that have made the events so very special for the children!  There are a lot more Gifting Events that will be coming up....keep checking the Event Calendar on the website:
