Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston

IM works with 10 communities of faith, including Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Unitarian Universalist and Zoroastrian. Together they provide the foundation upon which IM provides direct service, builds collaborative partnerships to serve seniors and refugees, and channels the faith community's preparedness and response to disaster.

IM believes that through service and dialogue it is possible for very diverse people to come to know one another and to find common ground, while maintaining their personal beliefs and keeping their cultures intact.

IM manifests the strength of share beliefs through four areas of service to the Greater Houston community:

• Meals on Wheels for Greater Houston delivers more than one million meals each year to homebound seniors in Harris County
• Refugee Services in conjunction with the U.S. State Department, resettles hundreds of refugees in Houston each year
• Office of Disaster Preparedness and Response facilitates communication on behalf of Houston’s faith communities during relief and recovery efforts
• Interfaith Relations provides a safe harbor for Greater Houston through its many interfaith programs and dialogue efforts
