It all begins on this day. A single day of love and generosity for our homeless children and a lifetime of Hope.

Hope Begins Here
On Christmas Eve, 1989 ,Dreams for Kids began. This event started it all. On this day, Clara’s House, a tiny homeless shelter in Chicago’s desperate Englewood community, hosted a small celebration for 54 homeless children, who according to Clara – “…would never have known it was Christmas if you had not come.” That day they had the freedom to believe. And to date over 50,000 kids across the United States and in countries around the world have celebrated their Holiday for Hope.
This is more than a celebration. It is a beginning. It is more than hope. It is a commitment. A promise for participants to pay it forward in their community. And promise to help bring sustainable change to their lives and to our homeless crisis.
