After more than 40 years of serving the community, The Friends of DeCosta Headley transitioned
its community-based supportive services programs to a new philanthropic entity named
‘Developing Restoring Enriching Advancing Many Foundation, Inc.’ (‘D.R.E.A.M. Foundation’).
This new 501(c) (3), tax-exempt, not-for-profit organization is destined to be the vehicle to take
our many long-standing assistance programs benefiting communities to greater heights.
With help of many philanthropists—within both the community and interested parties—we have
brought services to the poor and disenfranchised people and groups (singularly and with other
community-based organizations), such as:
Hunger Program
Fed between 15 - 20,000 community persons in annual food donations as well as senior and community events; Annual
Pre-thanksgiving dinner and Turkey Drive;
Health Programs
Community Health fairs
Work with various health care providers for children with special needs and senior citizens;
Educational programs
Training programs- our on-the-job training method takes place in a normal working situation, using the actual tools, equipment, documents or materials that trainees will use when fully trained. On-the-job training has a general reputation as most effective for vocational work. It involves employee training at the place of work while he or she is doing the actual job.
