Mercy Clinic Services in Action

The Multicultural Center's Mercy Clinic continues to provide our Houston community with important and critical services needed to stay happy and healthy during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Since the Mercy Clinic has partnered with the Harris County Department of Health to provide free Coronavirus testing to the public in September, we've tested more than 60 people at our facility. And to ensure the continued wellness of our communities, the Mercy Clinic has extended COVID-19 testing through to the end of the year.

And in time for the upcoming flu season, the Mercy Clinic has teamed up with Americares/Walgreens Pharmacy to provide free flu shots this past Saturday and Sunday. Both days supplied our community with more than 35 vaccinations. Even our scouts took advantage of this great opportunity!

The Mercy Clinic continues to vow to offer our Houston community more and varied ways to remain healthy. Stay tuned for future plans to do just that!

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 bigmomkn@yahoo.com, and he will deliver them to you personally.
