One of the
core values of Mosaic is to practice "strategic
service" in our community. We make our faith
relevant by serving the hurting, homeless, the marginalized,
forgotten, and less fortunate in
Santa Maria.
We have three
major partners in Santa Maria that we serve:
1.
Domestic Violence Solutions - DVS provides emergency
shelter services, transitional housing, educational services and
advocacy for the abused. Emergency on-call services are
provided in partnership with our local law enforcement.
Service projects
with DVS have included a complete remodel of the emergency
shelter to provide a warm and welcoming environment for those
escaping abuse. We throw an annual Christmas party complete with
Santa for the kids and moms that includes a buffet dinner,
gifts, and fun.
