“Communities of Care - Through grants, we make efforts to transform the environments where people live, learn, work, play and pray, bringing a population health approach to support community resilience, mental health and well-being with a focus on children and youth of color and their families. Job Creation - Live and Work in the Gulfton/Sharpstown area. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Connect launched a program mobilizing the talents of local seamstresses and tailors to make masks to sell to the public. The program allowed Gulton area residents to earn extra income while helping protect all of Houston. Community Health and Well-Being - We serve our neighborhood by bringing together the residents, local leaders, and vital components necessary for a holistic, healthy community that includes services such as health, after-school, and recreation programs.”
