History & Mission for M. I. Lewis

Early 1960’sThe Dickinson Ministerial Alliance brought the original service center into being in the early 1960’s.  That original service center was designed to represent a small interfaith group dedicated to serving those in need. 
After a few years, this center was further developed by the Dickinson Community Charity Council and the Reverend M. I. Lewis, who was pastor of the Mount Olive Baptist Church. 
Around that time, the center became a member of the Mainland Communities United Way of Galveston County, Texas.
Late 1970’sThe Social Service Center was renamed in honor of Reverend M. I. Lewis at his death to memorialize his forceful and positive support of the Center’s stated mission to assist those in need within the community. 
In the late 1970’s, an average of 80 clients were seen each week by caseworkers at M. I. Lewis Social Service Center.
Mid 2000’sAs the population increased, so did the emergency needs of the community.  It was then that the Board of Directors decided to relocate the center to a larger facility. 
Because of the larger space, the center is now able to host a bigger food pantry and provide more services to those in crisis.
Today we assist an average of over 100 clients per week.



 MissionThe mission of the M.I. Lewis Social Service Center is to render aid to individuals with emergency needs, to make referrals to other agencies for additional support and to encourage its clients toward self-sufficiency.
