Sheltering Homeless through Interfaith Satellite Shelter Program

Mt. Calvary is a founding member of the Interfaith Satellite Shelter Program (ISSP).  Through this program, individual churches and synagogues share the responsibility for providing shelter for the homeless for given nights of the week.  This service is provided during the coldest months of the years, generally, November through April.  

Community House

Early in 2005, the Santa Cruz community completed the building of a unique facility for the sheltering of families who have no home.  This facility is designed as a transitional step to provide a safe, temporary residence for families as they get on their feet again.  A number of organizations assisted with furnishing Community House.  Mt. Calvary was pleased to provide the furnishings for one of the guest suites.

Compeer

The Compeer program is a community mental health program that matches trained volunteers with individuals who are in need of supportive friendships.

The community of Mt. Calvary is part of the greater Santa Cruz community.  We provide our support for community projects and programs when possible.

Through the years, Mt. Calvary has become a meeting place for many organizations that have used or shared our facilities, including:  

• Head Start
• Alcoholics Anonymous
• Alanon
• Montessori School
• Service Corp
• Yoga classes
• Choral rehearsal
• Choral performance
• Piano recitals

Mt. Calvary welcomes inquiries about the use of our facilities.  We believe we are particularly well suited for choral and small instrumental ensemble performance.   Please direct inquiries to our church office or online by clicking on the Contact button.
