About Us
 The
Utah Dream Center was founded in 2000 by Alfred
and Anna Murillo. Though the physical doors to
the Dream Center weren’t opened until 2002, the foundation
was laid much earlier. Modeling much of the Utah Dream Center’s
operations and strategies off of the LA Dream Center, www.dreamcenter.org,
Alfred and Anna first operated a sidewalk children’s ministry
by buying and renovating a large truck with a fold-down
platform. Alfred is also a ten
year board member of the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Metro
Gang Project.
