About Us
Houston Community Magazine
Houston Has Stories Worth Telling.
Houston Community Magazine is a digital community publication dedicated to telling the stories of the people, businesses, restaurants, nonprofit organizations and community leaders who make Greater Houston a remarkable place to live, work, dine and connect.
Houston is a big city.
But what makes Houston special often happens on a much smaller scale.
It's the family-owned restaurant that's been serving its neighborhood for years.
The entrepreneur who took an idea and turned it into a business.
The nonprofit quietly changing lives.
The community organization bringing families together.
The chef creating something worth driving across town to experience.
And the people whose work, determination and commitment are helping shape Houston's future.
Those are the stories Houston Community Magazine was created to tell.
Our Mission
Celebrate Local. Tell Meaningful Stories. Strengthen Community.
Our mission is to help Houstonians discover the people, places, organizations and businesses making an impact throughout our community.
We believe local stories deserve more than a passing social media post.
Through thoughtful articles, interviews, photography, community guides, business features and digital storytelling, Houston Community Magazine provides a platform where those stories can be discovered, shared and remembered.
We want our readers to come away knowing a little more about their city — and perhaps discovering a restaurant, business, organization, event or neighbor they didn't know before.
More Than What's Happening in Houston
We Tell the Story Behind It.
There are plenty of places to find out what is happening.
Houston Community Magazine wants to help tell you who is behind it, why it matters and why you may want to experience it for yourself.
That means going beyond the basic business listing.
Beyond the event announcement.
Beyond the menu.
Beyond the press release.
We want to introduce readers to the people behind Houston's businesses and organizations and give those people an opportunity to tell their stories.
Because when people understand the story behind a local business, restaurant or organization, they have another reason to support it.
What You'll Discover
Dining & Local Restaurants
From neighborhood favorites and hidden gems to chefs, signature dishes and Houston dining experiences, we help readers discover restaurants worth adding to their list.
Our restaurant coverage focuses not only on what's on the plate, but also on the people, traditions and stories behind it.
Local Businesses & Entrepreneurs
Houston is powered by people willing to build something.
We feature entrepreneurs, independent businesses and professionals who are solving problems, serving their communities and creating opportunities throughout Greater Houston.
Community & Nonprofits
Some of Houston's most important work happens outside the spotlight.
We highlight nonprofit organizations, outreach programs, community initiatives and the people working every day to make a difference.
People & Houston Stories
Founders. Artists. Educators. Community leaders. Volunteers. Changemakers.
Houston Community Magazine introduces readers to people with stories worth hearing and ideas worth sharing.
Events & Things to Do
From community festivals and family activities to special events and local experiences, we help Houstonians find more reasons to get out and experience their city.
Why Local Stories Matter
Houston is one of America's largest cities, but community still happens one relationship at a time.
A reader discovers a restaurant.
A family learns about a nonprofit.
A resident attends a community event.
A customer finds a local business.
An entrepreneur discovers another entrepreneur.
A story gets shared.
A connection gets made.
That's how communities grow stronger.
And that's why Houston Community Magazine believes local media still matters.
Helping Houston Discover Local
For local businesses and organizations, getting noticed can be difficult.
Great businesses don't always have large advertising budgets.
Important nonprofit organizations don't always have large marketing teams.
And some of Houston's best stories are being created by people who aren't particularly interested in becoming social media influencers.
They still deserve to be discovered.
Houston Community Magazine creates opportunities for local businesses and organizations to tell their stories in a more meaningful way and connect with people throughout the Houston community.
Our goal isn't simply to create more advertising.
It's to create more discovery.
Our Commitment to Houston
As Houston Community Magazine grows, we want to remain rooted in the communities we cover.
That means looking beyond what's already popular.
It means paying attention to neighborhood businesses.
Listening to local organizations.
Highlighting community initiatives.
Introducing readers to new voices.
And using our platform to help strengthen the connections between Houston residents and the people serving their communities.
We believe supporting local businesses, restaurants and organizations contributes to a stronger Houston.
That's why you'll see a simple idea reflected throughout Houston Community Magazine:
Eat Local. Support Local. Discover Local.
Powered by Community
Houston Community Magazine is supported by local businesses, Featured Partners, sponsors and organizations that believe in the importance of community connection and local storytelling.
Some content and features on Houston Community Magazine may be created in connection with paid partnerships or promotional programs. When appropriate, those relationships are identified so readers can distinguish sponsored or partner content from independent editorial coverage.
Regardless of the type of feature, our goal is to create content that is useful, engaging and relevant to the Houston community.
Have a Story Houston Should Know About?
Some of the best stories don't come from press releases.
They come from people in the community.
If you know a local business doing something interesting, a restaurant Houston should discover, a nonprofit making an impact, an upcoming community initiative or simply someone with a story worth telling, we'd like to hear about it.
