December 2008 – Mosaic Family Services received a $2,000 grant from the Carrie S. Orleans Trust. The Carrie S. Orleans Trust was established to purchase food and clothing for distribution to the poor and needy of Dallas County, Texas, without regard to race, creed or color. This is the third grant that Mosaic Family Services has received from the trust.
Funding from the Carrie S. Orleans Trust will help us to meet the growing food costs at Mosaic House shelter, which has served a growing number of clients each year. The funds will be used to purchase fresh meats and produce, after-school snacks for the children and additional school uniforms for the children. Funds will also be used to support victims of human trafficking, who often arrive at Mosaic Family Services’ door with nothing. Funds may also be used to purchase $25 food vouchers for clients served by the HIV Early Intervention Program. This program serves individuals who have an HIV/AIDS diagnosis, and have a history of substance abuse issues. Many clients are homeless and all are below the poverty level.
Thank you to the Carrie S. Orleans Trust!
