INTRODUCTION The Somebody Cares Life Resource Directory is designed to help you facilitate the needs of people in the Greater Houston, and surrounding areas. Networking with ministries and organizations enables us to meet a wider range of needs. Most, although not all, of the organizations included in this directory are Christianbased: included are social organizations that provide much needed assistance. If your ministry, or one that you know of, is not included in the pages of this directory, please forward the information to us. We will keep the information on file as we prepare for the next revision. Our mailing address is: P.O. Box 570007, Houston, TX 77257-0007. To obtain copies of the Resource Directory or further information, please contact our office at 713.621.1498. Thank you for your ministry to the Body of Christ and to the residents of our city. Together we are sending the message that Somebody Cares. J. Doug Stringer Founder/President Somebody Cares America/International Compiled by Somebody Cares Houston/America 2010 2
