Houston Chapter with a TEAM mission to impact the community, along with twenty supporting part-

ners coordinated a Community Resource Fair. The chapter mobilized its programs and projects and journeyed
into the community with the primary focus of assisting residents to “Get Back to Work”, combined with health
education, activities for senior citizens, community beautification, and Project Prom. Spearheaded by the Status
of Women committee, the well planned and executed fair was promoted internally as a Ladies and Teens mentor-
ing activity. The Third Ward Multi-Service Center was chosen as the venue because of its central location to the
community that is in need of the vital services coordinated by the chapter and partnering organizations; University
of Texas Health Science Center of Houston dental students, HR Representatives Wells Fargo, Walgreens, Texas
Southern University, and Harris County Healthcare for the Homeless.
