PATH is a unique and progressive service organization whose mission is “to break the cycle of homelessness by empowering people with the tools for self-sufficiency.” As so much more than a shelter, PATH can greatly benefit from the array of talents and leadership qualities we at Mosaic have to offer.
Earlier this summer, we formed a team from two small groups and friends to take part in the “PATHCooks” program. We had a lot of fun creating and cooking a unique menu (wrapped fish, spicy-peanut noodles, almond and nectarine salad) - right in PATH’s full-service kitchen. More significantly though, we were able to sit down and befriend several men and women in transition who had been missing people in their lives to provide support - be it family or friends.
As an introduction to our new partnership, we’ll be participating regularly with “PATHcooks” and everyone is invited.
