Meals on Wheels
At IM Houston, we believe when our vulnerable neighbors are in need of comfort and a meal – we provide for them.
IM Houston delivers over 1.5 million Meals every year, along with warm smiles to isolated seniors in need. Thanks to our Meals on Wheels for Greater Houston and Galveston County program, homebound seniors may receive home-delivered lunch meals. We deliver to an average of over 3,500 homebound seniors daily.
Over 97% of our seniors tell us the program helps them maintain or improve their health, and remain independent in their own homes. Seniors with pets may sign up for the Animeals program, to receive free supplemental pet food.
We are able to provide this service through a combination of government grants and private contributions. Our partners include the Harris County Area Agency on Aging, Texas Health and Human Services, Texas Department of Agriculture, and the Texas Veterans Commission.
Refugee Services
We believe when we see those in need of community and a sense of belonging – we welcome them. At IM Houston’s Refugee Services, we work to help refugees become neighbors and successfully adapt to their new surroundings. We connect them with education, job placement, healthcare and place these new Houstonians on the path to citizenship and self-sufficiency. In the past 30 years, IM Refugee Services has served clients from over 40 countries as a trusted provider in this work.
IM Refugee Services department serves refugees fleeing their homeland in fear of political, social or religious persecution. Our clients have legal status and over 80% achieve self-sufficiency within 6-12 months.
Our phased approach starts with meeting basic needs and job placement, progresses to wrap-around services to stabilize families for upward mobility and successful integration, and eventually leads to application for citizenship once clients have been in the U.S. for five years.
Volunteer Houston
We believe when those around us are in need of help – we serve them.
IM helping my community, IM volunteering. IM Houston’s Volunteer Houston program is home base for connecting thousands of volunteers with community needs, and serves as a virtual hub to deploy volunteers during natural disasters. This area is a resource for all Houstonians ready to make a continuing and lasting impact on their community through organized service and leadership.
Our vision is to inspire volunteers of all generations and to develop future generations of servant leaders through active community service and civic engagement. Click here to visit Volunteer Houston.
Interfaith Relations
At IM Houston, we have faith in our community. We create meaningful connections for those seeking purpose, belonging, and the good that surrounds us waiting to be unleashed. Together, we believe in the power of dialogue that leads to good deeds.
We believe that when hearts unite across faith traditions and backgrounds, something powerful happens. That’s why interfaith relations work has been our foundation for over half a century. IM is embedded in “the strength of shared beliefs.”
This is where our mission advances and where every interfaith dialogue and service project builds a stronger Houston. We are where compassion becomes connection, where we are defined by the good we do.
We are IM Houston.
Join interactive and engaging vital conversations, dialogues, and community events that explore societal issues, foster interreligious and cultural understanding, and celebrate our community’s diverse tapestry.
