Our Team
Rebekah Hill
Executive Director
Rebekah works tirelessly to keep The Hamilton Dream Center doors open, thereby ensuring we are there for those who may need our services. From fundraising to event planning, heavy lifting, to painting, she does and directs it all.
Kimberly Amis
Donor Support & Event Planning
Kim has been working at the Dream Center since July 2015. In addition to her Donor Support & Event Planning role she also coordinates groups that come in to do various work bees at the Dream Center as well as works in the Blue Door food pantry on Tuesdays. She is please that we are able to help ease some of the food insecurity people face, and that because of the Food Pantry people can access food that they might not be able to afford.
Brenda
Reception
Brenda has been volunteering at the Dream Center for 10 years. Her first role was answering phones. She then took on the responsibility of inputting stats and data, and from there it kept going. Brenda wears many hats. She coordinates the income tax clinic appointments and food hamper distribution. She also monitors the supply of food on hand. If we are getting low she is the person that lets the community groups, local churches and businesses know that we need help filling the shelves again.
Our Vision
How We Began
The Hamilton Dream Center was founded by Pastors Ace and Joy Clarke. The saw a need for change in Hamilton with high crime rates, “crack central” neighbourhoods, food insecurity and so many other problems. Their belief that restoring hope to individuals plays a major role in improving peoples lives and thereby reducing crime, addiction and poverty. In 2012 it was incorporated as a Registered Canadian Charity serving all individuals and families in need.
