In 2022, Emily’s Wish became a federally recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization. As the needs in our community grew, so did the mission. In 2026, Emily’s Wish became Emily’s Dream, expanding to reflect more of Emily’s hopes for others. Today, Emily’s Dream supports individuals of all ages who need assistance with daily essentials, utilities, housing support, food, clothing, and holiday assistance.
In addition to meeting essential needs, Emily’s Dream is committed to supporting those who require academic assistance, ensuring that financial barriers do not stand in the way of opportunity.
We recognize that this is a large mission, and we are deeply grateful for the individuals, families, and businesses who partner with us to make Emily’s Dream a reality.
Thank you for your generous support as we honor the legacy of Emily Elkins and her dream that all people should feel loved through the kindness of others.
