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.
