Fans of Good Works,
Howdy, y’all, from Houston, Texas. Today we worked with a super awesome non-profit called Northwest Assistance Ministries (NAM for short). It’s an organization that’s celebrating their 25th year and oh man are they on fire. They have so many social outreach programs from Meals on Wheels to a domestic violence awareness program to food pantries to many, many others. Today we worked at a resale shop that was operated by NAM and boy did we have a good time. Tim was stocking bookshelves while Zach and I were pricing items in the back warehouse (note to those who have never used a price label gun before… it’s fun… especially when you’re working next to someone like Mr. Wiseley). To find out more about NAM, you can visit their website. They were such a welcoming group of people who were excited about everything they do and their energy was nothing less than contagious.
Where will the Good Works Fellows be working tomorrow? Don’t look now, but tomorrow we head for Austin to work at the Austin Zoo. Get ready for lots and lots of monkey business. Yeah, I said it.
Tonight, we also post the second video of our New Orleans adventure. We will never forget our experiences there and to anyone thinking about volunteering in that city, go ahead and do it. They need all the help they can get.
Kick it like Pele,
James
