Seeing the Unseen
HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?
Snack Pack Events
As needed throughout the year
Throughout the year, we have Snack Pack Events where we prepare zip lock bags filled with nonperishable food items. These snack packs are available in the Mosaic lobby for friends in the community that are hungry on a Sunday morning. People attending Mosaic may also take Snack Packs to keep in the car and distribute to individuals they see during the week that might be in need.
Snack Pack Events are currently suspended due to COVID-19. If you are interested in participating in our Snack Pack Events, let us know and we will alert you once they resume.
Truck Runs
1st & 3rd Thursdays from 5 – 9 pm
Twice per month, we hit the streets of Austin with food, clothing, encouragement, and prayer for our friends that are homeless. We meet not only physical needs but also develop friendships and connect people to a faith-based community that can model the love of Christ to them.
Truck Runs are currently suspended due to COVID-19. If you are interested in serving with our Truck Run Team, let us know and we will alert you once they resume.
Sunday Morning Care Team
Weekly, 9 am – 11 am
Our Sunday morning care team serves breakfast and coffee, takes and fills orders for clothing and other items, listens to needs, prays for people, and develops relationships with our homeless friends.
Sometimes our homeless friends want to attend church service which we encourage and assist them in doing! Our goal is to help people take the next step in connecting with the larger faith community and with the heart of God as well.
Lighter Loads + Fellowship
2nd and 4th Saturdays, 10 am – 1 pm
We are partnering with Lighter Loads ATX to provide showers, laundry, a hot meal, prayer, and fellowship twice per month. We need help setting up, serving food, socializing and loving on guests, and cleaning up.
This is a great time to meet the practical needs of our homeless community while also developing deep relationships that lead to discipleship opportunities. Our goal is to love people and transform lives for Christ
