West Houston Assistance Ministries in Urgent Need of Donations to its Resale Store to Help the Poor
The nonprofit West Houston Assistance Ministries (WHAM) is urgently seeking clothing, furniture, home décor, and other donations to its Resale Store to fight poverty and prevent evictions. WHAM relies on these donations to achieve its goal of compassionately serving Houston's children, families, and homeless individuals. The organization’s Resale Store serves to provide gently used goods at an affordable price range, while also using the income from sales to fund its programs to help families in crisis.
People interested in donating to the WHAM Resale Store can donate their items at 3100 Rogerdale Dr. Houston, TX 77042 any day Tuesday thru Saturday from 11am-3pm. WHAM Resale can also pickup larger donations within a 25-mile radius.
“Any donation of items to the WHAM Resale Store would benefit us greatly, as we rely on the income to fund our programs that serve Houston’s low income community,” says Mercedes Santos-Garay, Director of Development and Communications. “Though the highs of Covid-19 are over, the effects of the pandemic have left a heavy imprint on the people we serve. The demand for food, rent and utility assistance continue being very high, but we’re only able to help so much when our store is so low on inventory. We welcome any assistance from individuals, companies, churches, and community organizations willing to help,” she stated.
Those who are interested in donating may drop items off at the address above, or contact Janet Ramirez at janet.ramirez@whamministries.org to schedule a pickup. To support WHAM is to support a family in need.
