Backpack Peoria is where Dream Center Peoria found a need and filled it. After hearing how so many children and students were not starting school well on the first day of school, DCP felt that we could help. Basic school supplies were a need, but we knew we could help. Since 2002 we have given out over 50,000 Backpacks with school supplies.

On the last Saturday in July each year, DCP gives away over 2000 backpacks loaded with school supplies for children in need in the Peoria area. In addition we help students with free medical and dental exams, haircuts, uniform cards and so much more!
