About this Event

Be a Part of the Movement: Empowering Our Relatives

Welcome to the Distant Relatives Project's Empowering Our Relatives (EOR) initiative — a monthly outreach program dedicated to serving individuals experiencing homelessness and financial challenges. Our mission is to create pathways to stability, self-sufficiency, and successful reintegration into society. We are excited to bring our EOR program to Houston, Texas!

Held on the last Saturday of every month, this initiative brings together our members, volunteers, and community partners to offer vital services focused on health equity and access to essential resources. Each month, we provide:


  • Fresh food and produce
  • First aid and personal care items
  • Health and Dental screenings and education
  • Vocational training and workshops
  • Housing Assistance
  • Identification

Event Details:


  • Location: Houston Municipal Court (61 Reisner Houston)
  • Time: 3 PM
  • Website: Distant-Relatives.org
  • Instagram: @TheDistantRelativesProject

  • Donate to support: Contributions allow us to sustain this monthly outreach. Your donations allow us to provide an 8 course meal, healthy produce and snacks, toiletries and first aid, medical supplies, grooming supplies, dental partnerships and more! Donate through Zelle: [email protected] and/or at distant-relatives.org/Give.

Your generosity fuels our mission. With your support, we can continue providing vital services to Washington D.C.’s homeless community and move closer to our vision of creating lasting change.
