Terre Haute
About UsMosaic provides a life of possibilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities. We help people define their own happiness. We support them and empower the pursuit of their goals. We celebrate their successes, even if that success is as simple as the pursuit itself.Mosaic's mission is to provide people with intellectual disabilities possibilities and the chance to make choices -- a home, roommates, employment and how they engage with their community. We empower people to work and live a life of their choosing. Everything we do supports people with intellectual disabilities on their journey to a life of happiness and fulfillment. A life of possibilities. Mosaic in Terre Haute began providing services in October 1987. The Dixie Bee and East Glenn Homes were the first to open, each serving eight adults with intellectual disabilities. Two years later the Woodbine and Riley Homes were opened and each served six children with intellectual disabilities. In 1993, Mosaic in Terre Haute began providing in-home supports to people. Today, the agency provides services to nearly 40 individuals in a variety of home and community settings and employs 109 staff. Thank you Unison Volunteers!
Thank you to the volunteers from Unison who have spent time at all four of Mosaic's home in Terre Haute to help with landscaping needs. At the Dixie Bee home, 27 men spent a seven-hour day pulling up old mulch and laying new, and building retaining walls around trees and flower beds. They also planted flowers and a tree, built a raised vegetable garden for the residents and created a memorial in the shape of a heart with angel statues to represent the loss of loved ones. At other homes they have replaced playground equipment, done more landscaping and even power washed the front of the house.
While volunteering, the men worked alongside the residents to make their home a better place, and in the process have made new friends. The volunteers plan on doing more projects in the future. The next project will be winterizing all four homes. |  |
