Testimonials

When I first entered The Garsed Center, it brought me hope that the building finally found a new owner to bring real change to the community. Unique Dreams over the short few years has provided guidance, education, encouragement, mentoring, and structure to a neighborhood that desperately needs it. The programming that they continue to offer the community changes lives, because CHANGE MATTERS.
