We're sending a massive shout-out to the incredible Second Baptist School students who are volunteering at our WHAM Food Pantry and Resale Store this week! Their dedication to serving our community embodies the school's mission to equip students to think critically, live biblically, and lead courageously. It is inspiring to see these young people put their values into action, impacting lives and providing essential support to those in need. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the school and developing leaders who impact the world for good and who love their neighbors as themselves! If you or your group want to get involved and make a difference, visit https://lnkd.in/gPXUZ3my to join our cause! #WHAMministries #VolunteerAppreciation #CommunityService #HoustonStrong

It is with great sadness that we share that our dear friend and staff member, Chet Bernard, passed away today, in the early morning hours. For several years, Chet has been managing our Employment and Education programs, helping individuals gain the skills to get back on their feet and become financially stable. Through facilitating financial and digital literacy classes, teaching English as a Second Language, helping people gain their GED certificates or other vocational certifications, helping them find jobs, creating or sprucing up resumes and interviewing skills, and more, Chet made a significant impact on the lives of thousands of WHAM clients. He had a wonderful sense of humor, loved football, and was an integral part of our team. WHAM was Chet’s family and we are truly going to miss him. If you would like to assist with Chet's funeral and other related costs, please feel free to reach out to us, and we will be happy to assist. #ourfriend #communitychampion #honor #praying #foreverwithus

This Valentine's Day, celebrate love in its truest form – the kind that uplifts, protects, and perseveres. As Corinthians 13 reminds us, love is patient, kind, and rejoices in truth. It's not just about romantic gestures, but about showing compassion to those in need. We at WHAM are focused on embodying this love every day by providing hope to families in crises by providing food, financial support, and pathways to stability. This February 14th, consider spreading love beyond your immediate circle. Volunteer, donate, or simply spread awareness about WHAM's vital work. Remember, "Love never fails." Let's make it a Valentine's Day that truly celebrates love in action. #LoveInAction #CommunityLove #Whamministries #EmpathyInAction #supportingcommunities #Compassionate #communitysupport #HoustonStrong #ServeHouston #WHAMimpact #CommunityService #FightingPoverty
