The Waller-Prairie View Ministerial Alliance and others in the area Christian community have for some time been concerned about better ways to serve those who need help in the Waller community. Pastors, church staff, volunteers and other organizations often find themselves attempting to make decisions regarding the needs of different individuals and families without having the time or staffing to fully evaluate the situation. Many congregations simply do not have the resources to help those outside their own church families.

Waller Assistance and Restoration Ministries, Inc. (W.A.R.M.), is a Texas non-profit corporation, federally recognized as a 501(c)(3) charitable entity.  W.A.R.M. was formed through the merger of two long-standing Christian outreach ministries in the Waller area.  The Waller Pantry and Closet was formed by the Ministerial Alliance in 1986 and the Mission Closet, a ministry of Waller Baptist Church, was a in ministry since 1985.  Their merger, with the assistance of the Ministerial Alliance, formed W.A.R.M. as it exists today.

The merger fulfilled the desire of all concerned to cooperate in a Christ-centered approach to providing emergency assistance and restoration for those in need. After much prayer and discussion with similar organizations, both inside and outside our community, the consolidation of this effort now provides a great benefit to those in need in the Waller area.  W.A.R.M. serves the needs of our community through the efforts of those who desire to communicate Christ’s love through acts of giving and serving.

The W.A.R.M. Assistance Office provides supplemental food, clothing and personal assistance to families in need in the Waller area. The food is purchased with proceeds from W.A.R.M. Treasures Thrift Shop at the area Food Bank or received through local donations.

We often serve families in danger of homelessness due to a sudden emergency or job loss. The W.A.R.M. Assistance Office assists people who need temporary financial assistance and ascertains their need for additional resources.

The work of our Assistance Ministries would not be possible without the generous donations of people like yourself as the majority of our funding comes from public donations. Having considered the reasons and having developed your personal philosophy for giving, we hope you will participate in our donation drives. If you cannot contribute financially, you may consider donating items for our WARM Treasures Thrift Store. Also, please consider donating your time as a W.A.R.M. volunteer.
