Nonprofit Organization Management

MAM began with the faith community standing as one to meet the needs of the poor during one of Houston's most difficult economic downturns. On December, 1981, 13 local churches and 1 synagogue responded to a call from Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church to attend a meeting for the proposal of a coalition of Memorial Area Churches to develop a network for emergency services for families living in poverty. That 'network' officially became known as MAM in June of 1982. Since that time, MAM has remained focused on delivering programs of family stability. As responsible stewards, we are grounded in faith, offering hope, preserving dignity, and open to all.MAM is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all of its clients, employees, volunteers, and vendors.
