On Thursday, February 4th, 2016, Dream Catchers Foundation Inc. was awarded 501(c) of the Year by the Des Moines East & South Chamber. For this recognition, we are humbled and filled with gratitude. Looking back over the past year, we are astounded at how rapidly our message has spread throughout our community. This momentum is proof of the need for our services. Currently, we are the only non-profit in Central Iowa that provides salon services for men, women, and children that are chronically and/or terminally ill, as well as their caregivers. Since May of 2015, we have served over 70 Iowans.

Those who serve typically struggle to receive praise and recognition. We don’t serve because we’re looking for accolades; we serve because it’s who we are. We are dreaming the world beautiful with each hand that we hold. When a caregiver is at their wits end after spending night after night in the hospital with their loved one, we feel blessed to be there and say, “Let me take care of you for an hour!” Sometimes it’s just what they need to say, “I can do this! I can keep going!”

The reality though is that in order to expand and in order to spread our message, we need to be recognized. With that said, we would like to say, “Thank you to the Des Moines East & South Chamber for recognizing and awarding Dream Catchers, 501(c) of the Year. We are filled with pride in what we do and we are committed to evolving each day to better serve our fellow Iowans.”
