Urban Ministries of Durham connects with the community to end homelessness and fight poverty by offering food, shelter and a future to neighbors in need.
UMD welcomes all neighbors regardless of race, ethnicity, religious beliefs or non-faith, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.
It’s LIVE!! Check out our Empty Bowls Elevated Auction items for this year’s Gala. As we prepare to celebrate 40 years of service please donate and/or share this link to help reach our $200,000 fundraising goal.
Special shoutout to our Durham Nativity School volunteers! They come energized and excited every Monday to help package food for our Free Food distribution from 930am-1130am every Tuesday in the St. Philip's parking lot on the corner of Dillard and Main Street. We appreciate your service and dedication to fulfilling the UMD mission! #durhamnativityschool #freefood #volunteerappreciation
Check out our progress!! This month we remodeled the Women/Men dorm rooms and sitting areas for our residents. New beds, mattresses, linen, chairs, and totes were purchased to make this project a great success! We appreciate our generous donors for contributing to our continued impact. #remodel #UrbanMinistries #DurhamStrong
