On Saturday, September 18, 2023, Northwest Assistance Ministries (NAM) hosted a drive-thru food distribution, providing fresh fruits, vegetables, and other items.
NAM partnered with the Houston Food Bank and Common Market who provided thousands of pounds of food for the distribution. Thanks to the generous donations, NAM was able to provide food for 400 families!
Several dozen volunteers from ExxonMobil Retirees, BI, SWATT, Boy Scouts of America Troop 1920, and individual volunteers loaded cars with milk, fruit, vegetables, and non-perishables.
NAM is working tirelessly to provide food to its surrounding community despite the current food scarcity. Over 40% of NAM’s service area is a food desert, which leaves NAM needing more food donations every day.
