Our Roots. Our Neighbors. Our Next Chapter.

OUR CMCM STORY

People helping people. That is how our story began, and it is still at the heart of our work.

Porter Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church from CMCM’s archive
Porter Chapel helped give the work a place to begin.

Help Today. Skills For Tomorrow.

Dr. Michael A. Hayles, Sr. founded CMCM to help people gain independence through education and empowerment.

For 25 years, neighbors have shared their time, skills, and gifts to keep that work going.

Meet The People Behind Our Story
1995

A Place To Begin

Our operations began in 1995 at Porter Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church. Its officers and members helped Dr. Michael A. Hayles, Sr. get CMCM started.

People shared space, time, and care. That help gave the work room to grow.

2001

A Mission Takes Shape

CMCM was founded in 2001 to help people gain independence through education and empowerment.

Food helps meet a need today. Learning can help people take their next step.

2011 And Beyond

A Home At Lone Star

CMCM’s work grew at Lone Star Community Center. It remains the home of our service center today.

Volunteers and supporters help us bring food, learning, and support to our neighbors.

2019

Service To Veterans

H.O.N.O.R. Mentoring received the Texas Governor’s Volunteer Award for Service to Veterans.

Veterans used their skills to teach and mentor others. We carry that spirit of service forward.

Today

More Ways To Learn

Our work includes food distribution, education and empowerment, counseling connections, and H.O.N.O.R. programs.

KMEJ Radio and our academy projects give us more ways to share skills and useful information.

Looking Ahead

The H.O.N.O.R. Village Vision

We are seeking land for a future place where people can live, learn, and rebuild.

The village is a plan. Land, funding, and approvals will shape each step.
