Thanking FOX 26 Houston for covering the $1 Million transformative gift announcement made to Interfaith Ministries by the Samuels Family Foundation to continue Vic Samuels’ legacy and strengthen the organization’s role as Houston’s service leader.
“The new Vic Samuels Center for Volunteerism and Civic Service will be a center of excellence in the heart of Houston that centralizes Interfaith Ministries’ work to connect diverse groups for service to meet pressing community needs,” said Martin B. Cominsky, President and CEO of Interfaith Ministries. “None of this would have been possible without the amazing generosity of the Samuels family.”
Volunteer Houston
Did you know that Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston has been around for quite some time?
In 1955, the Houston Council of Churches launched IM’s predecessor organization, the Church Welfare Bureau, to organize the Protestant community to minister to those in need.
In 1964, the Bureau was reorganized as Protestant Charities of Houston, a group that was joined and strengthened by the Jewish community.
Officially chartered as Houston Metropolitan Ministries in 1969, IM has been a leading force in bringing together people of all faiths to serve people in need in the greater Houston area. IM was renamed Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston in 1992 to reflect support from increasingly diverse faith traditions.
Today IM brings people of diverse faith traditions together for dialogue, collaboration, and service, as a demonstration of our shared beliefs. We envision a community working and acting together in response to the needs of a Greater Houston to create a more respectful, connected, and caring society ❤️

September Vital Conversation
Join us for our September Vital Conversation with leaders from Project Curate. Project Curate is a non-profit social impact agency that works with religious, academic, and community organizations to address and support collaborative responses to intersectional racial injustice and inequality issues. Their core work is around curricula development as well as building intellectual/social community toward justice and equity. Leaders from Project Curate were part of our 2020 Vital Conversations series, and we have asked them to join us to share what they have experienced over the past year. Join us for “The Spirit of Social Change,” as we explore how spiritual practices in all their forms can lead not only to change, but also to transformation. We will welcome Co-Managing Directors Brandi Holmes and Rachel Schneider as our guests.
