Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston

For over 60 years, Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston has brought people of diverse faith traditions together for dialogue, collaboration, and service to the most vulnerable in our community. IM Houston operates Texas's largest Meals on Wheels program (delivering 1.5 million meals annually to 4,300+ homebound seniors), resettles refugees from 40+ countries, coordinates thousands of disaster and community volunteers through Volunteer Houston, and fosters interfaith understanding through dialogue programs, youth leadership, and cultural exchange.

Southwest Multi-Service Center

The Southwest Multi-Service Center is a City of Houston facility on High Star Drive serving the Sharpstown area and surrounding southwest Houston communities. The center brings health screenings, social services, public benefits navigation, and civic programming directly into one of Houston's most ethnically diverse areas. Sharpstown and the broader southwest corridor have significant immigrant and refugee populations, and the MSC plays an important role connecting these communities to city-administered resources and support programs.

Acres Homes Multi-Service Center

The Acres Homes Multi-Service Center is a City of Houston facility serving the northwest Houston community with extended weekday and evening hours. Located on W. Montgomery Road, the center provides residents with access to health services, social services, recreational programming, and civic resources. As one of the few MSCs with extended Thursday hours until 8:30pm, it is designed to reach working families in the Acres Homes neighborhood who cannot access services during standard business hours.
