On Saturday, September 17, 2022, Northwest Assistance Ministries (NAM) hosted a drive-thru food giveaway distributing food, along with fans, to help Houstonians beat the heat.
Fresh fruit and vegetables, along with non-perishable foods, were distributed to 400 families on a first-come, first-served basis.
In addition to food, the first 200 families received fans to help keep cool, courtesy of TXU Energy and Jarvis Johnson, State Representative, District 139.
“We’re always glad to help any way we can,” said Brian Carr, NAM’s Chief Advancement Officer. “It’s an added bonus today that not only can we supply them with food, but we can help them keep cool as well.”
