My House Manager Melissa was absolutely amazing. She would go above and beyond for the homeless and may I also add the meals she cooked were pretty amazing as well! I also appreciated the staff that allowed me to come there especially the director Ms. Cynthia and Erica. Great place to be while trying to get back on your feet!

Good store for furniture, outdoor patio, and kitchenware. Also, the parking is nice for city parking. You can find it in the back.

Mustard seed is a pretty cute little store. Just like any resale store, it can be a hit or a miss. I always appreciate the tiered pricing system (the longer an item remains in the store, the price goes lower). It has a decent array of actual vintage clothing/jewelry/trinkets/furniture, unlike some vintage resale which is second hand ikea furniture.

5years ago I was staying with a friend that was going through an eviction. I had just gotten out of jail 2months prior. Im a recovering addict. I had less than 24hours before I was going to be back out on the streets. I had called at least 50 different organizations in and around Houston. The biggest problem I was facing was the fact that I was on psych medication. No one that I spoke with was willing to take me in while on the meds until I interviewed with Magnificat Houses Inc. They have been such a Godsend to me and my family. Ive built trust back with my family and friends as well as employers. I have moved on from Magnificat Houses Inc. and am now employed and live in my own place. I know without a shadow of doubt I would not have made it, still clean and sober, if it werent for the help and stability Ive received from Magnificat Houses Inc. Thank yall!!

Yall saved my life. I came through the jail diversion program back in October. I started a construction job and Im taking care of myself largely because of the Clubhouse. If you tell the Sisters you are hungry, they will feed you. I still come back to volunteer and enjoy spending time during my lunchbreak. God bless the St. Joseph House and Magnificat Houses. For real!

Being at Magnificat means the world to me. I was literally lifted off the street. I didnt know that there was a place like MHI I could go to. I had no concern about my own wellbeing, but when I spoke to the people at Loaves and Fishes, they told me about Magnificats housing program. Not only was I given a place to live, but I was given a purpose. I am valued and I have a sense of purpose. I have been nurtured and my self-esteem has returned.

Great little hide away with unique items compared to some other more upscale places items are priced reasonably and they do decrease in price the longer they stay on the floor. Nice environment, nicer staff and money goes to a worthy cause...whats not to like

I agree with the previous reviewer. Its a hit & miss with Mustard Seed. The longer the item, the lower the price. Its a great place to find kitchenware and unique items for your home...

As in all resale stores it is hit or miss, but this little store is very nice and I like to stop by every now and then and even if I am not lucky it is a pleasant visit.

Some items are a bit pricey but always fun to visit with all of the revolving items. Definitely have to do it regularly

Magnificat has been my home and my family. Im moving forward, but I couldnt have done it without the support, trust, and belief in me that they have shown and given me over the past year and a half.

I so admire what is bring done here. Magnificat Houses not only takes in people who are homeless and gives them shelter, they also try to get them out of the homeless cycle with opportunities to develop skills and talents and encouraging them to help others.
