Revamped Central Florida Dream Center Aims to Empower More Lives, Assist in Reducing Crime, Poverty

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 28, 2006 -- There are a lot of changes happening at The Central Florida Dream Center. A new website at http://www.cfdreamcenter.org/ was launched earlier this month through the volunteer design services of XcelliMark of Casselberry (http://www.xcellimark.com/).

On Sunday, September 10th, Dale Cody (Vice President of Traffic Operations & ITS at Metric Engineering in Winter Park) accepted the position of Chairman of the Board. This begins a restructuring phase designed to facilitate the expansion of the Dream Center�s community outreach program and the renovation of the Dream Center�s 46,000 square foot warehouse.

The warehouse facility is a future one stop mall of hope to impoverished families. Currently the Dream Center provides mentoring sessions, computer and job skills assistance for adults as well as after school programs (tutoring, character lessons, writing, & computer skills), and block parties for the kids. The renovated facility will attract more at-risk kids with its proposed basketball court and room for additional activity oriented programs and after school programs.

The Central Florida Dream Center was founded by Paul Benjamin in 2002 with the mission to empower families and individuals to self-sufficiency. Located in the heart of inner-city Sanford where crime, abuse, and poverty run rampant this 501C-3 organization is providing a glimmer of hope for individuals who are truly interested in improving their lives.

More corporations and individuals are urged to be a part of this endeavor to revitalize the family unit and reduce crime in Central Florida. To find out more or to get involved, contact Jackie Benjamin at jackieb@cfdreamcenter.org, visit http://www.cfdreamcenter.org/ or call 407-302-8880 ext.20.
