Get Involved

There are many ways to get involved and make a difference in someone’s life.

Urban Ministries of Durham welcomes over 4100 volunteers: individuals, communities of faith, groups from local colleges and universities and many K-12 schools, civic groups and businesses, large and small.

Together, all of them share in a variety of tasks to help one another and to create a welcoming, caring, and compassionate environment that affirms the dignity of all.

We invite you to come and Share the Journey with us!

Throughout the year, there will be opportunities to serve, celebrate, raise funds, collect, learn, comfort and be comforted as our entire community shares the journey together. 

Volunteering and organizing service projects are great ways to help us in our mission to provide food, clothing, shelter and supportive services to our neighbors in need.

Together we can build a stronger community of support, and reap blessings we neither expected nor imagined along the way.
