 Providing New Bedding, Caring

and Love to Children in Transition
A Sweet Dream Dad Shared:

"It's hard for me to be here--I wish I could provide these beautiful things for my kids---but because of your kindness and caring--  look how happy my children are!!  Thank you for giving me HOPE and giving my children such beautiful bedding that will keep them warm and bring them joy night after night!"

LARGEST "PACK & PRAY" EVER!!

 

The November "Pack & Pray" had over 70 people helping to pack Sweet Dream Bags, cutting ribbon, packaging toothbrushes & toothpaste, packaging wooden cars, sewing "God Loves Me" tags on pillows.  We had Girl Scouts, Home School Group, AWANA Group, Arapahoe Key Club, Optimist Club , Kiwanis Club, members from several different Churches, a family from Colorado Springs and many people who have just heard about Sweet Dream and were willing to spend a Saturday morning packing so plenty of bags are ready for these precious children that Sweet Dream serves!  What a beautiful morning---thank you to each person -- it takes a lot of people to set up, to pack and to clean up.....It was an amazing, fun Saturday!  See you at the "Pack & Pray" January 21st!


LOTS OF GIFTING EVENTS!

Sweet Dream is busy getting warm, comfy bedding to the children that need to sleep cozy warm this winter season.  We have had so many wonderful Gifting Events and we have many, many more before Christmas....Please check the list of events  -- this is the season to give--why not give some of your precious time to these children, to have someone give them time and undivided attention is a real gifts to these wonderful children -- come volunteer to help the children choose their Sweet Dream Bag and to read  their precious book with them.  The volunteers are what make each gifting event so special -- it makes each child feel cared about, special and loved....keep checking the Event Calendar on the website:
