If I told them I was a Reverand I'm pretty sure I would get helped quicker. The woman I had spoke to went to lunch. I was a little disappointed that I had to wait over an hour to get 3 bags for a member. A minister came in a hour after me and was greeted with the up most helpe and joy. When I asked for assistance I was ignored and told to wait longer. To my understanding members have been held to be totally reliant on the organization although the supports are good but make sure you are providing independence and encouraging it. I get there is an event coming up but still customer service is important and making sure potential vendors are provided with communication and respect. Sincerely Rev Cooper read more

I'm here giving a review on behalf of a sister in Christ who was failed by the system and is getting nothing better from what she's relaying to me. She grew up in homeless shelters and group homes from all over Arizona since she was about 7 years old. Her mental health was incredibly damaged and she was unable to finish school due to learning disabilities. From being forced to one home to the next and never receiving even an ounce of love and affection the way Christ would to the point where she landed in what I believe was a cult. This is where I met her. We got out together and began to seek Christ further together and she has been growing slowly and understanding more. She struggles sometimes and makes mistakes and doesn't understand sometimes. But in the time of her being at the dream center--she's worsened. Her faith has decreased and her mental health has as well. I've also discovered that some donations are meant to go to the women there but she has yet to receive anything or any help at all with finding work, re-applying for school, relearning basic life skills, and recovering in full. It became bad when she felt the need to sneak her phone back to reach me rather than use the phones so she can open up--to which, of course, I corrected her one as her sister in Christ. It's ever right to do things like that no matter the circumstance. But doing that led to her being placed outside in the dark alone with her phone on low battery and strange men passing by and making her uncomfortable for nearly 2 hours. When asked if she could come back inside and give back her phone so she can go to bed and feel safer, she was told to wait out there until 7 am. While outside, she was tempted to wander off alone away from the center even with the men giving her creepy looks and peeking around corners at her. The staff stood by and looked out at her and continued to talk as she stood at the door until she knocked to be met with another "7 am." This is what began to boil my blood. I hadn't heard of the place before but when I looked it up I was shocked to find that they're centered around rescuing women off the streets and preventing trafficking and providing care for those they welcome in. But to hear that they willingly put out a struggling 18-year-old with depression and a dwindling faith as a Christ-centered community and home for young women--it strikes a different cord. Upon getting there, I found out that she discovered some...odd conditions. Such as bugs and mold. But none of that truly matters because it's a roof over her head and clothes on her back as well as food for your belly. And I encourage her to be grateful for the things that God places in front of us. But it's hard to encourage her if she cant call me even from the phones there due to restrictions let alone be able to feel confident that she is in good Christ-loving hands. I just continue to pray that God guides her steps and places a hedge of protection over her. I may only have one side of things but the things I'm hearing don't settle well in my stomach or my heart...I pray that those in the center are able to express more compassion towards the people they bring in. Especially young women who don't have many people to depend on outside of Christ...God will provide. God bless you and I hope that things improve with this place. Im still gonna continue to raise money for her to get her back on track, God willing. read more

I have been volunteering at the Phoenix Dream Center for over two years. I have been able to touch many lives through a fresh haircut and fun color. This organization provides a safe, faith based chance to get back on their feet. Some of the programs they are offer are: crisis pregnancy, church on the street, "aged out" foster kids, and individuals recovering from drug use, prison time and homelessness. The director of ministry development, Shane, keeps this organization in order and operating smoothly. If you know anyone needing an opportunity to turn his or her life around, this is the place! read more

I sent several voice mail messages and emails (via their own website) with no response. My husband and I wanted to donate a Thanksgiving dinner to a needy family. No response. Just silence. Ignored. Nothing. read more

Such a cool concept and this place could be amazing but they do not do all they advertise. The employees are not organized, they go through the donations and the trafficked women that live there hardly receive any of it. My donations didn't even get make it to where it was suppose to go. If you do donate ,do it directly to the person / floor you want to get it to. They don't give the girls the amount of therapy or education they say. Which is so sad, what they've been through they need it to truly move forward. It could be so incredible if they put some effort into it. read more

It needs improving ! They want you to be totally dependent on their org. they don't want you, to be self-reliant, have a job, have your needs met; and do not care about what is important to you . -( Kind of like JIm Jones cult church.) It is a recovery program , which is heavily influenced by christian church . A few people there are religious hypocrites, (So much for their Christian church influence) . They like to lie, and think that they are better then you are ! I don't need to be anywhere that my needs are not being met ! And if you do not care about what is important to me, then YOU and YOUR center are a big waste of time ! Different people, go there for different reasons, but they only handle the surface problems of the people; not the core reasons why they have them ! It's not enough , to put a band-aid ! The wound will only fester into sepsis ! If the people at the top do not care, then the people that go there to get help, won't get any ! read more
