How to Help
People who want to help Santa Maria Hostel have numerous ways to lend a hand to the women and women with children who seek assistance through Santa Maria.
Retreat Workshops
If any church programs are interested in hosting a retreat for our women, day camp for children or family group on a Friday evening or Saturday please contact Pam Vangiessen (832-630-2859). Meditation, prayer, speakers and / or crafts are possible objectives for these retreats. The mission is to give a brief reprieve in which clients can enjoy and reflect on the purpose of living a substance free life.
Gardening Group
Santa Maria Hostel is looking for a group of women who are passionate about the transformation of a living garden and how that impacts the spirit of those who enjoy the beauty that unfolds. For women in the process of recovery watching and participating in the growth of a seedling to it’s maturity parallels their path to recovery. Just as a garden that is tended and cared for grows to produce healthy and vibrant flowers, plants or vegetables, the choices they make in striving to live a substance free life will determine their progression.
