Northwest Assistance Ministries (NAM) has a great need for volunteers to coordinate its holiday projects, sort toys or food and for donations of food and toys or other gifts for children and teens.

NAM expects to serve 800 families in November and 1,000 families in December. The main Thanksgiving distribution date is Nov. 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for Thanksgiving turkeys and food. The last day for people needing Thanksgiving food to apply is Nov. 13. The holiday gift and food main distribution dates are Dec. 19 and 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The last day for people to apply for holiday gifts and food is Dec. 11.  To apply for either distribution, call the Assistance appointment line at 281-583-5600 Monday through Friday.

“We are appreciative that many congregations, corporations and individuals are pulling together to provide much needed cash donations, food, or toys and gifts,” said NAM President and CEO Carole Little.
