History of M. I. Lewis Social Services Center Early 1960’s – The Dickinson Ministerial Alliance brought into being the original social service center designed to serve the Dickinson area and represent a small interfaith group dedicated to helping those in need. After a few years, this center was further developed by the Dickinson Community Charity Council and the Reverend M.I. Lewis. The center then became a member of the Mainland Communities United Way of Galveston County, Texas. Late 1970’s - The social service center was renamed in honor of Reverend M.I. Lewis at his death to memorialize his forceful and positive support of the center’s stated mission of help and assistance to those in need within the community. Present Day - The center has grown steadily, moved into a new, larger facility, and now gives emergency assistance to an average of 80 clients each week.  |  | Current location: FM 517 & Hwy 3 | Our previous location on FM 517,
