Funds Raised: $300

Donated Items: Two 10 gallon trash cans full of non perishable items.

Although our hike up Cowles Mountain on February 26th, 2011 was rained out it did not dampen our spirits.  In the worst rain storm of the season we still had 6 dedicated AQLife and Dreams For Change members there to support one another, share what one another does, and learn more about the efforts everyday community members are doing to make our city a better place.  From under our umbrellas some members of AQLife learned about how the individuals from Dreams For Change hold full time jobs and then dedicate their evenings to ensure our transitional homeless have a safe place to park, warm food to eat, and are provided resources to remain active contributing community members.   Even though I can’t speak for everyone there I feel confident we were all moved by how selfless and passionate these individuals were about making a difference in our community.  The mission of Dreams For Change is “to decrease hardships faced by low to moderate income families and individuals by providing support and transition through advocacy, innovative programs and services focusing on homelessness, employment, education and asset building.”  It was apparent when meeting them just how much they believe in the work they are doing and it was truly AQLife’s pleasure to raise awareness for this wonderful non profit.

We would like to thank the dedicated team from Dreams For Change for their tireless work and belief in our community.
