Volunteer at Parktown Food Hub. Opportunities include participating in food distribution as well as prep work for distribution.
Did you know you can still donate in support of our Parkwood UMC team for the 2024 Durham CROP Hunger Walk Team? Please help us meet our goal of $3,000 by giving to CROP today.
Our goal is to raise $1500 for Rise Against Hunger for each of our CCoM churches (total is about $4,500 for 10,000 meals and rental fee for gym). If you would like to give towards Rise Against Hunger, you may write your check to “Parkwood UMC” and put “Rise Against Hunger” in the memo line. If 30 people gave $50, we could raise $1,500 for Rise. Please consider giving today and help us reach our goal!
