Help Needed at Urban Ministries of Durham
Could you give an hour or two to help those in need here in Durham? Here are some opportunities for helping those who come to Urban Ministries in need of food and clothing.
In addition to the food items we already collect, there is a need for the following items:
- Plastic zip-closed bags in sandwich and gallon sizes and tall white kitchen garbage bags.
- Laundry soap, toilet tissue, paper towels and hygiene items.
- Backpacks, tote bags, duffel bags and small suitcases.
- We can also use books, especially for children, but all books are needed.
- You could make snack bags of cookies and/or candy for a special treat for our clients. I can take these any Thursday when I go.
I am working on getting people to help sort and stock the clothes closet. This is done in the afternoon and we can decide when we want to go. If you are interested please let me know and I’ll add your name to the list and find a time that suits us.
Thank you for your continuing support for Urban Ministries and all the hungry and homeless people of Durham.
