At the heart of WHOM
WHOM serves as a central hub connecting volunteer resources with community needs throughout Amador County. We maintain a database of skilled volunteers, available resources, and willing hands from local churches and community groups. When requests for help come in, we match the specific needs with volunteers who have the right skills, resources, and availability to make a difference.
How WHOM Works
For those who need help
When you bring a need to WHOM, we carefully assess what kind of assistance would be most helpful. Then we tap into our network of volunteers and churches to find the right match. Whether you need practical help, specialized skills, or financial assistance, we work to connect you with people who can serve you well.
​
For churches and volunteers
If you or your church group has skills, time, or resources to share, WHOM helps you find meaningful ways to serve. We coordinate opportunities that match your abilities and availability with real needs in our community. This means your service makes a genuine impact.
Examples of WHOM outreach
Example 1
The Johnson family needs a wheelchair ramp for Mr. Johnson's health needs. WHOM connects them with contractors from two local churches who have building materials, construction know-how, and a free Saturday. Together, they build a safe, sturdy ramp that transforms the family's daily life.
Example 2
The men's group at a local church has members who know auto repair. They reach out to WHOM, who helps coordinate a car repair day with other churches. Community members bring their vehicles for oil changes, tire work, and light repairs—receiving practical help they might not otherwise afford.
Example 3
A church youth group wants to serve their community but doesn't know where to start. WHOM connects them with the Smith family, whose home needs painting and minor repairs. The youth spend a day transforming the house while learning the value of hands-on service.
Community
Community Projects
Beyond individual needs, WHOM organizes initiatives benefiting Amador County. Projects unite churches and community groups for coordinated action on shared priorities.
Financial Support
Financial gifts to WHOM serve two vital purposes. They help fund direct financial assistance—including our planned micro-loan ministry for families working toward stability—and they support the materials, tools, and logistics needed for volunteer projects throughout the community.
​
Together, we're building a network of care where every person's gifts find purpose and every need finds a response.
