Action Ministries Houston Incorporated
About Action Ministries Houston Incorporated
Action Ministries Houston is the kind of nonprofit that gets very specific about care. It provides new shoes for students in need, packages meal pouches for children and seniors, and extends support to people facing disaster or distress. If you want to back an organization that meets practical needs while staying rooted in faith-based outreach, this one has a clear lane. The work is broad, but the throughline is simple: essentials delivered with intention.
What sets Action Ministries Houston apart is how directly it pairs concrete help with faith-based outreach. A student can receive new shoes, a family can receive food support, and pastors, men, women, and others can be reached through ministry that extends from Houston to beyond it.

Our story
Action Ministries Houston began in 1991, when Gordon A. Berg and Patricia Ann Berg founded the ministry after a call to serve through faith, feeding, and caring for the needy. From there, the work grew into an outreach that provided shoes, food, clothing, household goods, Bibles, and other essentials to people in Houston, throughout Texas, and beyond.
