Our projects

One signature effort each year. Smaller acts of care throughout it. Every project begins by listening to what our community needs.

We’re putting our mission into action, starting with our inaugural Dream Project. Alongside our larger annual Signature Project, these smaller efforts bring practical care to the needs closest to home.

Thanksgiving Food Drive

Helping set the table for Birmingham families this Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Food Drive donation list supporting FEEDBHM and Grace Klein Community, with a food barrel at GLAM Beauty Boutique, 1072 Montgomery Hwy, Vestavia Hills, AL 35216 — Tap the flyer to view the full-size donation list.

Our first Dream Project begins with something simple and meaningful: helping our neighbors share a Thanksgiving meal. This season, the Dream in Many Colors Foundation is supporting FEEDBHM, a Grace Klein Community initiative, by collecting Thanksgiving dinner essentials for local families in need.

Dreams don’t all look the same. Sometimes making room for a dream begins by meeting the needs right in front of us. A stocked pantry, a warm meal, and the knowledge that your community cares can make a meaningful difference.

We’re inviting our friends, clients, neighbors, and community partners to help us fill the barrel! From canned ham and green beans to stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pie ingredients, every donated item is a small act of care with a place at someone’s table.

Held October 24, 2026 · Thank you for your support

Kindness, Collected

An essentials donation pop-up. A few everyday items. A little more comfort for our neighbors.

Sometimes kindness looks like a clean shirt, a pair of shoes that fits, or the everyday essentials that make a difficult season feel a little less overwhelming.

The Dream in Many Colors Foundation is partnering with Be Kind Birmingham for Kindness, Collected, a one-day donation pop-up hosted at GLAM Beauty Boutique. We’re inviting our friends, clients, and neighbors to bring practical items that help stock everyday essentials for our community.

Drop by on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with whatever you can give. Every item is a small way to remind someone that their needs matter—and that their community cares.

What to bring

New underwear: all children’s and adult sizes.
Children’s athletic shoes: all sizes, new or gently worn.
Cleaning supplies.
Toiletries: any brand, size, or quantity welcome.
Any clothing: new or gently used donations are also welcome.

A small act of care can make an ordinary day feel a little more hopeful.

01 / ANNUAL EFFORT

The Signature Project

Each year, we hope to focus on one organization or cause whose work speaks to our mission. The Signature Project will be a chance to gather a community around that partner, learn what would help most, and put our collective energy behind a meaningful goal.

Its shape may change from year to year: an event, a campaign, or another collaboration built around the needs of the people it serves.

The partner and details for each year will be shared once they are ready.

02 / THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

The Dream Projects

Dream Projects are smaller, hands-on ways to care for our neighbors throughout the year. They allow us to respond to specific needs with community partners and create moments of support that feel personal and practical.

These could take the form of a drive for essential items, a literacy effort, or another focused project shaped by what a partner tells us would truly help.

Is there a need your organization is trying to meet? We’d love to hear about it.

Big dreams can begin with small acts.

Our inaugural Thanksgiving Food Drive is the first step. As we listen, build relationships, and find new ways to lend a hand, we’ll share more opportunities to turn compassion into action.
