MOORPARK WOMEN’S CLUB MAY 8th MEETING will feature Dan Parziale from Mesa Farm Organization of Ojai. Mesa works with young adults, age 18-24, who are facing homelessness with a focus on young adults who are aging out of foster care. 20% experience being unhoused the day they age out, and 50% experience it within 18 months. The combination of single occupancy tiny homes wrapped around a main central home gives participants both ownership of space and easy access to community. A stable place to call home is essential; however, it is insufficient on its own to promote overall wellness. Mesa provides a trauma-informed program that supports the whole person. Mesa's program includes therapeutic interventions, mental health supports, educational opportunities, vocational training, and community-based work, all while working towards permanent housing. The club is considering contributing to this organization.
We will be meeting at the Sycamore Room at the Arroyo Vista Park, 4550 Tierra Rejada Road, Moorpark CA 93021. There is a social hour at 9:30 with a call to order at 10:00. Registration is $30 and lunch will be a Taco Bar. Reservations are needed by April 29th. For further information, email mwfcmtgreservations@gmail.com
