NTERFAITH MINISTRIES (IM) FOR GRE ATER HOUSTON CELEBR ATED ITS ANNUAL TAPESTRY G AL A WITH A VIRTUAL EVENT AND AN EX TR AORDINARY ME AL S ON WHEEL S EXPERIENCE . Interfaith Ministries President and CEO Martin B. Cominsky made the call to quickly pivot the originally scheduled Tapestry Gala event from an in-person gala to a virtual event at the onset of the Covid-19 stay home/work safe order. Utilizing the staff’s home-delivered meals expertise, Interfaith Ministries’ team of drivers delivered an exquisite dining experience for guests to enjoy at home, similar to what they do for 4,300 homebound seniors in the Meals on Wheels program, now weekly as a part of their response to the pandemic. With many thanks to presenting sponsor Shell, they hosted 400 supporters online raising more than $525,000 for Interfaith Ministries’ four areas of service to the Greater Houston community: Meals on Wheels/Animeals, Refugee Services, Interfaith Relations and Community Partnerships and Volunteer Houston.
