The Waller-Prairie View Ministerial others in the 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.),
a Texas non-profit corporation, has been formed by local Christian
leaders and through the merger of two long-standing Christian
Outreach Ministries in the community of Waller – the Waller
Pantry and Closet which was formed out of the Ministerial Alliance
in 1986 and the Mission Closet which has been in ministry since
1985 out of the Waller Baptist Church.
All concerned parties desire to cooperate in a Christ-centered
approach to provide emergency assistance and restoration for
those in need. After much prayer and discussion with similar
organizations both inside and outside our community, we believe
the consolidation of this effort will be of great benefit to
those in need in our community and to those who have desired
to communicate Christ’s love through acts of giving and
serving.
The W.A.R.M. Assistance Office provides supplemental food, clothing
and personal care item assistance to needy families 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.
Often families are in danger of homelessness due to a sudden
emergency or job loss. The W.A.R.M. Assistance Office interviewers
and home visit teams meet with people who need temporary financial
assistance to ascertain need and offer resources.
The work of our Assistance Ministries would not be possible
without the generous donations of people like yourself. The majority
of our funding comes from public donations. Having considered
the reasons and having developed your personal philosophy for
giving, we hope that you will participate in our donation drives.
If you cannot contribute financially, you may consider donating
items for our WARM Treasures Thrift
Store. Please also consider donating your time as a volunteer.
