Windham Area Interfaith Ministry
Uplifting and uniting our community by providing caring services and resources to meet our neighbors’ needs with dignity and respect.
WAIM (Windham Area Interfaith Ministry) provides basic needs and support to area residents with insufficient income. Our goal is to keep people safely housed, meet basic material needs and connect them to resources that sustain their stability.
Our Programs
Emergency Financial Assistance
WAIM is dedicated to helping our neighbors who are struggling to make ends meet. Emergency financial assistance from WAIM can help with rent or mortgage payments, utility bills, transportation expenses, and other basic needs.
Material Donations
WAIM distributes donated clothing, furniture, appliances, and other household items to people in need in our community for free. Literally, tons of useful items are kept out of local landfills and welcomed into the homes of individuals and families who give them a second life.

Apreciamos su ayuda y colaboración para ayudar a que el evento de Regreso a Clases sea un éxito. ¡Realmente se necesita una comunidad!
These two young men, Austin and Lucas, from Columbia Congregational Church saw a need and organized an underwear drive to collect brand new underwear for us to distribute.
They put a call out to their congregation to bring donations. They came up with the name "Undie Sundays" and encouraged people to "drop their drawers" into the collection box.
These two industrious young men also made sure that Rev. Maryann Purtill blessed them before they dropped the donations off to us.
Thank you Austin and Lucas for coming up with the idea and for executing it. It's through the efforts of people like you that help us to carry out our mission.
We pray that the people who wear these have a good school year too!
