Founder of Dream center, Mathew Barnett took to social media to publicly thank Kanye West for his commitment to help those in need. Mathew was ecstatic to find his organization is becoming a hub for those who cannot afford two square meals a day.
Barnett added, “The Los Angeles Dream Center has transformed into the Grand Central Station of food distribution and other essentials. I’m so grateful that our team has stayed healthy, and that we’ve found a safe way to meet the urgent needs within our community, I can’t say thank you enough to the various donors who’ve made this a reality. It is what a neighborhood, a community, and a church should always look like.”
Dream Center is a nonprofit organization established in 1994. The Christian group serves the local dispossessed population, emancipated and drug addicts, alcoholics, single mothers, stressed families, taggers, people with AIDS, and various subculture, ethnic and nationality groups.
