Northwest Assistance Ministries

Join us this Saturday May 30th for the Well Women's Expo at NAM and hosted by Spring Branch Community Health Center.

NAM Resale is in need of donations. Specifically, at this time, professional clothing and housewares but we also love receiving furniture, toys, lamps, media, books and monetary donations. Think about having a clothing or housewares drive at your church or in your neighborhood. Your donations are always appreciated and the proceeds go back into NAM's programs and services. Thank you!

Thank you Kinsmen Lutheran Church for supporting NAM this month with your generous noisy offering and peanut butter and jelly drive. Your gifts help NAM serve families right here in NW Harris County find survival over summer. If your congregation would like to support NAM please reach out to [email protected]

Well Women's Expo Event hosted by Spring Branch Community Health Center, Northwest Assistance Ministries and Molina Healthcare May 30th from 9am-12pm at NAM's Opportunity Center 15702 Bammel Village Drive, 77014.

Respectful communication about mental health is especially important during times of transition, including housing instability or reentry into the community. Compassionate words signal safety when people need it most. https://www.samhsa.gov/resource/ebp/permanent-supportive-housing-evidence-based-practices-ebp-kit

When we understand mental health challenges can be at the root of addiction, we start asking 'how can we help?’ with no judgement. That question alone can make a big difference. https://www.samhsa.gov/find-support

Northwest Assistance Ministries, including NAM's resale store, will be closed on Monday, May 25, 2026 in observance of Memorial Day. We will resume normal hours on Tuesday. Thank you!

NAM is grateful to the Houston Food Bank for the donation of a refrigerated truck. This will be an amazing asset to our Joanne Watford Nutrition Center in picking up large scale donations from community retail stores. We are thankful for the community partners who work with us in serving families in need of nutritious food.

We are excited to share NAM's Family Violence Center will be hosting a summer workshop series for high school students, “REAL TALK: HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS &
DATING SAFETY”. The workshop is designed to provide teens with valuable tools to recognize healthy and unhealthy relationship behaviors, strengthen and establish boundaries, and promote safety and respect in relationships. Our workshops will be held Tuesdays during the month of June, starting on Tuesday, June 9th from 10 am to 11:30 am. Registration is required. Please refer to the flyer attached for the registration link. We are asking for your support in sharing this opportunity with the youth and families you serve by sharing the attached flyer with your clients and encourage interested families to sign their teens up. Thank you for helping us connect the youth in our community with resources and education that can make a positive impact in their lives.

Another adventure to Sea Center Texas marine acquarium and fish hatchery with NAM's Young at Heart Senior Center. They enjoyed lunch at Asiel's Restaurant and before returning back to NAM they made a stop at the Brazosport Museum of Natural Science. Join the 60+ Senior Center so you don't miss out on all the fun, free lunches, fellowship, activities and more!

Supporting youth mental health is a shared responsibility. Families, schools, healthcare providers, and communities all play a role in early identification and support. https://www.samhsa.gov/find-support/helping-someone
