MCC MERIT Restarts Food Drive Thru Program

Our MCC MERIT program was BACK distributing food from the Houston Food Bank to hungry Houstonians last Sunday. Our faithful volunteers showed up from all over town and went to work in the driving rain to selflessly serve more than 60 hungry families.

Through rain, sleet or snow... our community depends on us to serve them. And we do it with love. Just ask the Scouts from Troop 713!

Our very own Sh. Mohammed Nasrullah and his team handed out nearly 100 voter registration cards to a very eager public during the Food Drive Thru.

Sh. Nasrullah has also worked diligently to make the MCC an early voting polling location. We cannot thank him enough for his persistence and dogged dedication in reminding us all of the importance in making our voices heard by exercising our right to vote.

VOTE, IT'S YOUR RIGHT!

There has never been a more pivotal time than now to cast your ballot!

The Multicultural Center strongly urges everyone to ensure you are prepared to exercise your right to vote in this critical General Election.

Below is important voter information to help you do just that.

Voter Resources: To register to vote, check voting status or to find out what's on the ballot in the General Elections, visit vote411.org. For all other voting information in Harris County, visit harrisvotes.com

Ballot By Mail: For all US voters 65 or older, voters going out-of-town during the election, or those who are sick or handicapped, please apply for Ballot by Mail NOW. You can download the application at harrisvotes.com

Election Workers Needed: There is a massive shortage of poll workers for this upcoming General Elections that must be filled. In the State of Texas, the minimum requirements to be eligible for appointment as an election worker/clerk are that the applicant must be a U.S citizen and a qualified voter of the county they reside in. THIS IS A PAID POSITION. In Harris County, you get paid $17/hour. You get paid for the training too. High school students 16 years of age and older may serve as election clerks in Texas elections. High School Election Clerks must attend training, are paid for their service, and receive an excused absence from school. For more information and application, here is the link: harrisvotes.com/ElectionWorkers

If you are in need for mail in ballots, but cannot travel to receive one for whatever reason, please contact Br. Mohammed Nasrullah at [email protected], and he will deliver them to you personally.
