Holiday Blessings

All of us at NAM hope that you and yours are blessed and your wishes are filled this holiday season. Many of our neighbors have been hit hard this year and need our help just to try and have a normal holiday. Please review this page and consider ways you and your family can be a blessing to others.

 

 

During these unprecedented times, many families in our community can’t afford food or gifts this holiday season.

Help us raise $350,000 between now and the end of 2023.

Your gift will have an immediate impact for families in need.

Tis the season to bring joy to the faces of our children with joyful gifts. So many families are struggling just to try to make ends meet that the thought of holiday gifts can be a very stressful thought. Once again this year NAM is having a toy drive to collect gifts for nearly 5,000 children in our community ages 12 and under. 

This is a tremendous undertaking and NAM needs so much support from our neighbors. The good news is that we have done this before; the past two years.

New, unwrapped toys in the range of approximately $25 per gift for newborn through age 12 may be dropped off at NAM's Harrell Family Opportunity Center located behind NAM's main building at 15555 Kuykendahl Road, Houston, Texas 77090, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. until Friday, December 14, 2023.

So, grab your toy bag and buy out the stores. Let's make this the greatest toy drive ever!

 

  

Registration for Holiday Gifts is now closed.

 

 

NAM is always in need of volunteers, especially during the holidays. Volunteers help accept food or toy donations, stock the pantry, prepare food for distribution, carry food to cars, and help with toy distribution. If you are interested in donating your time to NAM, please visit namonline.org/volunteer for more information about our volunteer opportunities.
