Needs From: Volunteer Houston

Lunch and good cheer are what you?ll be delivering when you become a ?Meals on Wheels? driver for a northwest Houston area faith-based social service agency. Volunteers will pick up and deliver hot meals (or frozen meals/groceries) to the home bound elderly and disabled from two locations: NAM at 15555 Kuykendahl (Mon - Sat.) and Windwood Presbyterian Church on Spring Cypress near HWY 249 (Mon - Fri.) Orientation and parking provided. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Northwest Assistance Ministries is supported by a coalition of churches in north-central and northwest Houston and Harris County. It dispenses its services without regard to the religious affiliations of those served.

The Assistance Program at Northwest Assistance Ministries is in need of volunteer counselors to help families in need. The Assistance Program services include direct assistance and referrals for food, clothing and household items; rent and mortgage payments; natural gas and water bills, and more. Volunteer counselors interview clients on a one to one basis for evaluation of client needs and assessment of available resources. Volunteer Counselors are asked to volunteer on the same day each week, from 9:30 am ? 3:00 pm. Currently, there is a great need for counselors on Wednesdays and Fridays. Bilingual (Spanish) volunteers are in great demand.
