About MAM
Since 1983, Memorial Assistance Ministries (MAM Houston) has embraced the calling to love our neighbors as ourselves by partnering with hardworking Houstonians to build stable lives and hope-filled futures.
In a context where poverty is growing in the U.S., and nearly half of Houston’s families are working hard yet struggle to make ends meet, we must stand up to break this cycle. But it requires more than just money, it takes education, employment, supportive systems, and personal agency.
Born out of the community, for the community, MAM provides holistic economic mobility services throughout the year to help families gain long-term stability. MAM is a refuge and a springboard for our neighbors, from the most vulnerable to those searching for that open door, for that one opportunity to use their full potential and thrive. When people are given the tools, support, and encouragement to grow, it can be a foundation for something extraordinary.
At MAM Houston, we do what we do because we deeply believe that when everyone lives into their potential, we all benefit. A Houston where everyone can live a healthy, fulfilling life and contribute to the vibrancy of our community is possible, and we are working hard, shoulder to shoulder with our neighbors, donors, partners, and volunteers, to make it a reality.
