Waterloo Regional Dream Centre
Koinonia assists the Waterloo Regional Dream Centre financially, as well as assisting with their Sunday afternoon services once a month by providing worship and meals. We also plan work trips to help with current renovations in their facility.
The Dream Centre’s mission is to bring God’s dreams for people into reality by encouraging, edifying, educating and equipping the lives of people in the Region of Waterloo, focusing on Kitchener’s inner city through a variety of ministries including Blankets of Hope, Meal Programs, DC Clothing, DC Food, Street Deacons and Sunday afternoon services.
You can find out more about the Dream Centre on their website: www.wrdreamcentre.org.
