The nonprofit West Houston Assistance Ministries, known as WHAM, said Friday that it is urgently seeking clothing, furniture, home décor, and other donations to its Resale Store to fight poverty and prevent evictions.

The organization is also asking for donations here, as the number of families seeking assistance from Texas food banks has doubled since March.
