In this episode, we revisit Melinda Stephenson, the Executive Director of Clothed by Faith. Our original visit with her took place on November 19, 2021, when we were only doing Zoom episodes. We rereleased the episode in April of 2024 as a podcast and have since learned that Clothed by Faith has grown exponentially in the past 3 years as a mission that provides 1 week's worth of clothing to people in need.
In this podcast, host Paul Cannon and Melinda discuss the growth of Clothed by Faith from 3 school closets to 20 and more in the works. Additionally, the mission is reaching all the counties surrounding Harris County, including Fort Bend, Galveston, Brazoria, Chambers, and Montgomery Counties. In 2023, Clothed by Faith helped clothe over 24,000 people.
Clothed by Faith serves schools of all grades as well as their families. In addition, they provide clothing to numerous other missions and agencies, including mental health agencies, non-profit missions, human trafficking shelters, homeless organizations, prison release programs, juvenile probation services, domestic violence shelters, and victim's assistance programs.
To make donations, find out more about the needs, and sign up to give, volunteer, or receive assistance, please visit the website: https://www.clothedbyfaith.org/. They are a 501c Charity, so all donations are tax-deductible.
Meet Houston Missions is presented by Simmons and Fletcher, P.C. See more missions and/or learn how to get your Houston mission featured.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
