If you are in a position to provide extra community support, consider the below ways to love our neighbors during this time.

  •  CROP “Virtual” Walk: Sunday, April 5. We encourage people to walk sometime on Palm Sunday as if they were in the CROP Walk.  Durham receives 25% of donations. To give or sign up, click here. Contact: Doug Koenig.

  • Iglesia Emanuel Food Bank: They have more food needs than they are able to meet. The safest and most helpful way to contribute is by making a financial contribution through their website.

  • Families Moving Forward: To give extra support, contact Anne Paulson.

  • Meals on Wheels / Interfaith Food Shuttle: Donate to the BackPack Buddies program for children who depend on school meals.

  • School for Conversion Buddy System: Healthy young adults are paired with an elder in order to maintain regular check-ins and coordinate delivery of essential supplies if/when needed. Sign up here.

  • Walltown Neighborhood Food Bank: Collection dates on April 9-10, 2-4 p.m. Read more details here.

  • Word Relief Refugee Families: A family from Afghanistan and a family from Congo (both families that Blacknall supports through World Relief) are in need of unprepared food items and items to entertain children. To provide support, contact Andrea Tshihamba.
