LOS ANGELES — For the first time ever, the Los Angeles Dream Center will be hosting a virtual gala for its annual Night of Dreams celebrationdue to the current circumstances and the current health and safety guidelines established by the City of Los Angeles. The theme for this year’s annual celebration is “Dream Again.” The goal is to raise awareness and build support for the Dream Center’s residential and outreach programs for veterans and the homeless, pandemic meal drive-thru relief, and restart learning centers. “Dream Again” will take place on October 14th at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST.

 

“This year has been a challenging one for the people of Los Angeles and for the residents and staff here at the Dream Center,” said co-founder Matthew Barnett. “But there is still hope. There’s always hope. And that’s exactly why we have a forward-looking vision and it’s why we’re calling our yearly celebration a night to “dream again.” Despite many setbacks this year, we believe in a God that is capable of carrying us through the deepest valleys, and over the highest mountains — and the pandemic has not taken him by surprise. No matter how tough life has gotten for the people of Los Angeles, we are not going quietly into the night. In fact, we’re doubling down on compassion, we’re doubling down on generosity, and we’re doubling down on love for the people in this city. My prayer is that everyone will leave our Night of Dreams more optimistic about the future than they ever have before.”
