Mission: In 2012 Chicago natives and Houston residents Martin Brown, Rukiya Akua, Lisa Pride, and Michele James-Rathers joined together to do one simple act of kindness that would "make a person smile." They immediately asked family members and other friends to join them in the effort. With the support of their community their first project allowed them to give blankets, socks, and care/survival packages to 35 people living on Houston streets. Since then, they have organized a variety of giving projects and volunteer dates within their community of friends. "Make a Person Smile" (MAPS) Houston is committed to making a difference one blanket and pair of socks at a time.
