Humble Area Assistance Ministries (HAAM) is a great organization that provides so many different services to the community. It has a food pantry, employment & education center, provides utility bill assistance, benefits access, homeless prevention services, street outreach programs, project mammogram, lawyers that provide vital information to families with guardianship or custody issues, eye glasses & eye examination assistance, nutritional classes, Thanksgiving & Christmas food, plus gifts for the children, etc... You can definitely get the picture as I name some of the services that are provided to the community. The Director along with many of her employees and volunteers are the most caring and helping people that you could ever meet. These people continue to pour out their love and care without asking for anything in return. This Organization truly belongs at the top of the list when we speak of Great Nonprofits.
