Northwest Assistance Ministries is a nonprofit, community-based, multi-program social service agency that strives to supply basic human needs through neighbors helping neighbors. The organization was formed by 10 Covenant Congregations who agreed to set aside their theological differences and pool their resources in a manner to better serve community needs. Today, NAM is supported by 47 congregations, 18 Service Partner organizations and more than 140 business Community Partners. NAM has served north and northwest Harris County since 1983 and currently has approximately 85 employees and 2,000 volunteers.

Last year, NAM touched the lives of 120,264 individuals, including 3,566 people impacted by Hurricane Ike. Many NAM clients receive more than one service and participate in more than one program. NAM truly is a “one stop shop” for services. One of the most effective and cost-efficient charities in the community, NAM is a good steward of the resources it receives. Approximately $0.90 of every dollar donated in the 2007-2008 fiscal year went to direct services.
