Sociedad Mutualista Obrera Mexicana (SMOM) was founded on February 21, 1932, in an effort to assist families of Mexican heritage during times of crisis. A community spirit began and since then, it has remained active in Houston’s Hispanic community for over eighty years.
On July 3, 1985, SMOM became a registered 501(c) 3 organization in Houston, Texas. It continues to focus on commemorative events, health fairs, festivals, pageants, etc., at no cost to the community. The center has been operating from donations received.
