MAM Houston - Memorial Assistance Ministries

This week, we looked toward MAM’s future, celebrating the groundbreaking ceremony for the Hamill Education & Workforce Training Center, a truly important milestone in MAM’s 40 years of service! This new addition to MAM’s Main Campus in Spring Branch will provide offices for us to increase individual client services by 80% and classrooms to enhance education and training programs by 50%. 🎉🏗️ In addition, renovations to our existing building will foster deeper community connections and generate additional revenue with the new Connections Café, a dedicated group volunteer space, and an expanded Resale Boutique. MAM is so grateful for the immense generosity of our supporters that have made this possible. Thank you for dreaming with us and making this project a reality! As we expand MAM’s Main Campus, we’re creating the opportunity to extend life-changing support to thousands more in our community each year. Together, we are helping build stable lives, break cycles of poverty, and create brighter, more hopeful futures. 💪💕

✨ We were honored to have Councilmember Amy Peck’s office present an official proclamation yesterday declaring October 22, 2024 as MAM Day in recognition of our efforts during this summer’s back-to-back disasters. 💪 In the aftermath of the May Derecho, MAM distributed ice and water, served as a cooling station, and provided much-needed financial assistance to residents of northwest Houston. When Hurricane Beryl left millions of Houstonians without power for almost a week, we sprang into action again by distributing water, ice, and shelf-stable food while providing referrals to resources for families who yet again needed financial assistance. We're proud to serve Houston year-round and especially in times of crisis! This recognition highlights the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and supporters in serving the Houston community and making a lasting impact. Thank you, Councilmember Amy Peck and to everyone who has been part of our journey. Together, we are creating a stronger, more vibrant Houston! 🌟💙

Today, we want to recognize all the incredible sponsors of MAM’s 11th Annual Luncheon, IGNITE: See Potential, Spark Change! 🙏✨ With your generous support, over $1 million was raised to support the important work being done at MAM to uplift our community! 💥 Thank you for seeing the potential in the thousands of families MAM serves annually and joining us in this vital work! 💙 Together, we’re making a lasting impact and sparking change! 

The MAM 11th Annual Luncheon, IGNITE: See Potential, Spark Change, was a huge success! This amazing event, co-chaired by Wendy & Ben Moreland and Liane & Marty Phillips, shattered records by raising over $1 million to spark change in our community!  💥 What a joy to honor George E. “Buz” Jochetz III for being a community champion who believes deeply in the potential of every individual.  It was inspiring to be part of the live pitch competition and hear Axel, Simone, Hector, and Daja’s stories. Congratulations to Simone Soro of Deli’s African Market for winning the pitch competition! 🎉  One generous donor sparked change with an on-the-spot donation that allowed each deserving competitor to receive a $1500 investment in their business! We were excited to announce MAM’s Growing Our Impact… Together! Campaign and that we will break ground on the Hamill Education and Workforce Training Center later this month. To date, we have raised $18.5 million toward the $21 million goal! Our amazing supporters make it possible for MAM to impact more than 18,000 lives each year, like Daja, Hector, Simone, and Axel, through training, education, financial empowerment, and community connection. We are deeply grateful to every donor, sponsor, attendee, and our incredible team who made this event a reality. MAM is proud to be a space where we can all come together, live into our purpose, and strengthen families and our community 💙 Click here to check out more event photos: https://lnkd.in/gJK6yres 📸
