Put Out The Call and They Will Come!

The truly inspiring piece about being a part of NAM is to see the community rally to help itself all year long but in this particular instance, what is even more inspirational is when people who are struggling themselves put their own needs aside to come to the aid of their neighbors.

At first they came one at a time and before we knew it, we had delivered more than 7,000 meals to the elderly and disabled population and almost 4,000 individuals rec'd disaster relief assistance in the form of food, vouchers, water, cleaning kits and financial assistance.

In the first few days, following Ike, it seemed we had lost our strength - the connection to our congregations and volunteers, but within a few days we were back in full swing as volunteers came from all over along with donations of food and cash to help those coming in the front door seeking assistance.

From all of us here at NAM to the community who supports and assists us in the work of neighbors helping neighbors - a heartfelt thank you!
