Mosaic House Receives Support from The Roy and Christine Sturgis Charitable and Educational Trust
Mosaic Family Services has received a $30,000 grant from The Roy and Christine Sturgis Charitable and Educational Trust. This generous grant will support Mosaic House, which provides comprehensive, holistic services to immigrant women and children who have experienced domestic violence or human trafficking.
The Roy and Christine Sturgis Charitable and Educational Trust supports organizations that assist with education, health, arts and culture, science, relief of human suffering, and youth and social services. The Trust focuses its philanthropy in the state of Arkansas, and in Dallas County, Texas.
Part of this funding from the trust will be used to purchase new bunk beds, coffee tables, and living room chairs for each of the apartment units at the Mosaic House shelter facility. The increased awareness of our services in the Dallas area has led to a rapidly-growing number of victims served by Mosaic House. The number of residents served increased by approximately 27% in the past year. This growth has led to increased traffic at the shelter and high wear-and-tear on the furniture in each unit. Funding from the Sturgis Charitable and Educational Trust help us meet the high demand for shelter services and provide brand new furniture for residents.
Thank you to the Roy and Christine Sturgis Charitable and Educational Trust for your support!
