Once again, NAM will be handing out blessings of toys and gifts to more than 5,000 children ages 0-12. New this year is the connection of fulfilling a specific child’s gift wish. Please stop by NAM and select a child to bless from our Blessing Tree. Take as many names as you are comfortable shopping for. Each child will receive 3 gifts. None greater than $25 and no clothes. Please return the card with the unwrapped gifts to NAM before December 9th. Donations can be dropped off at The Harrell Family Opportunity Center located behind NAM's main building Tuesday - Thursday between 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
NAM is working to collect 15,000 toys.
Other donations of toys to “fill the gaps” are also needed. Donations of brand new, unwrapped toys for boys and girls from infant up to 12 years-old can be dropped off at The Harrell Family Opportunity Center Tuesday - Thursday from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. If you would like to commit to a toy drive at your place of business or organization, please contact Brian Carr at [email protected] for details.

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 email [email protected]. You can also visit namonline.org/volunteer for more information about our volunteer opportunities.
Would you like to bless a family? NAM can connect you with a family in need where you can provide food, gifts, a tree, or holiday decorations. You can decide if you'd like to help a large family or a smaller family; meet the family or stay anonymous. For more information please contact Samantha Anchia at [email protected].
Please consider making additional gifts of food, toys or time. You will be helping others in need and we guarantee you that you will be blessed by your giving.
Registration for food and toys has concluded.
Please visit our Joanne Watford Nutrition Center if your family is in need of food assistance.
