An area agency took home a national award recently.

Earlier this year, Mosaic in Southwest Kansas was named this year’s Mosaic Partners in Possibilities Agency Partner of the Year, and Senior Community Relations Manager Vickie Harshbarger said the award is for agencies meeting their benchmarks for fundraising.

“We have a goal of how many members of the community we invited to hear about our mission,” she said. “We met our goal as far as how much money we set to raise that year, and in addition to that, we also talked about how much we’ve been involved with expanding the Mosaic mission in our community. What the award is all about is our advancement division of Mosaic and our fundraising division.”
