West Houston Assistance Ministries - WHAM Revenue and Competitors

West Houston Assistance Ministries (WHAM) came to be after seven local places of worship came together in 1982 to form a central organization that could address the needs of those coming daily through their church doors seeking help. Today, thousands in West Houston still live in poverty and are struggling to meet their needs while facing tough choices on how to allocate scarce resources. This is why WHAM focuses on offering services that meet basic needs like food and clothing, prevent eviction and homelessness, like rent/mortgage and utility assistance, and provide access to education and job training to lift people out of poverty, promote independence, and connect them to tools that help them build better lives. Together with the other services we provide (Back to School, Summer Lunches, Disaster Relief, etc), we contribute to alleviating poverty and building a strong and thriving community. However, we couldn't do it on our own - individuals, businesses, organizations, churches and schools throughout Houston provide the vital resources and volunteer hours to help as many as 115,000 clients as in this pandemic year. Every donation - be it financial, time volunteered, food items, or items donated to our Resale Store, as well as every purchase from our store, benefits the families we serve. This allows us to live out our mission: carrying out Christ’s command to love and provide for those in need.
