MOSAIC BUILDING CAMPAIGN
Against the backdrop of one of Toledo’s highest concentrations of poverty and highest crime rates, our passion is to see families thrive in every aspect of life: financially, physically, spiritually and emotionally. As part of our “Cradle to Purpose" pipeline, we are rebuilding a 100+ year old abandoned building into a community center (Phase 1) and educational center (Phase 2). Combined with our existing Pre-school operation and our partnership with Baby University, the completed building will serve as an evidence-based knock-out strategy for area families to escape generational poverty.
