Meet Chef Richard, one of the faces behind over 10 million meals served since 1972. Our Loaves and Fishes kitchen has been a lifeline for Houston's hungry neighbors for more than 50 years, and the mission is growing.

We are planning to build a brand new soup kitchen to serve even more of our community, but while that dream takes shape, we show up every single day to feed whoever walks through our doors. St. Maximinus of Trier sheltered those with nowhere to turn.

Chef Richard and our team do the same, one hot meal at a time.

St. Augustine of Canterbury was sent on a mission that seemed too big for one person, and he went anyway. He trusted that God would provide what was needed.

At MHI Houston, we carry that same trust into our work every day, but we could not do it without the generosity of people like you. Every gift, large or small, funds housing, meals, and healing for our neighbors in need.

St. Philip Neri is known as the Apostle of Joy because he believed that laughter, community, and genuine human connection were paths to God.

We love him at MHI Houston because that is exactly what St. Joseph Clubhouse is built on. Real community. Real connection. And yes, real joy, even in the middle of the hardest seasons of life.

This Memorial Day, MHI Houston honors and remembers the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.

Today, we reflect with gratitude on their bravery, selflessness, and dedication to protecting the freedoms we enjoy every day.

Wishing everyone a meaningful Memorial Day as we remember and honor our nation’s heroes.

Come, Holy Spirit. Today is Pentecost, the birthday of the Church, the day the Spirit moved and ordinary people did extraordinary things.

At MHI Houston, we see that same Spirit at work every time a volunteer shows up, every time a meal is served, every time a resident walks through the doors of RoseMary's Place for the first time.

Feel called to do something extraordinary? Start here at mhihouston.org/how-to-help/volunteers

St. John Baptist de Rossi spent his ministry serving the homeless, the sick, and the forgotten people of Rome.

He walked the streets looking for those in need and met them right where they were.

Over 50 years later, our Loaves and Fishes kitchen does the same thing every single day here in Houston, 350+ hot meals, no questions asked.

St. Rita is the patron of impossible causes, the saint people turn to when hope feels out of reach.

We think about her often at MHI Houston, because the people we serve are told their situations are impossible all the time. Stable housing. A fresh start. A way out of homelessness.

We believe those things are possible, and so does St. Rita.

Help us make the impossible happen at mhihouston.org/what-we-do/housing/

We were invited to the annual fundraiser for National Alliance on Mental Illness, NAMI, the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization.

St. Bernardino of Siena was known for his powerful preaching and his deep devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus. He believed that words, spoken with love, could transform lives.

At MHI Houston, that belief shows up every day in our Daily Prayer videos, a few quiet minutes shared with our community six days a week.

Pray with us today at mhihouston.org/daily-prayer/

St. Dunstan was a craftsman, a musician, and a servant leader who used every gift he had to build up his community.

That same creative spirit is alive in our Water Drive during Houston's hot weather, A Drop of Kindness. Houston's heat is brutal, and a simple case of water can completely change someone's day when they have nowhere to turn.

Be a St. Dunstan for someone this week. Drop off or ship a case of water, or ten, at mhihouston.org/in-kind-donation/
