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.

Kashmere Multi-Service Center

The Kashmere Multi-Service Center is a City of Houston facility on Lockwood Drive serving the Kashmere Gardens neighborhood in northeast Houston. The center provides residents with on-site access to health services, public benefits support, social service referrals, and civic programming. Kashmere Gardens is a historically Black neighborhood with strong community identity, and the MSC functions as a critical touchpoint connecting residents to city resources without requiring travel to downtown or distant facilities.
