DCFP September food drive

Our Mother Teresa Parish Community will hold a food drive for the Durham Community Food Pantry. The DCFP food truck will be in the parking lot before and after the three weekend Masses from September 7 to 8. We’ll gratefully accept food and cash donations to help feed the hungry in our neighboring communities.

The Durham Community Food Pantry, a Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Raleigh program, works to end food insecurity in Durham and Orange counties. The program is a collaborative effort engaging multiple partners through Durham and Orange counties to address this incredibly important need. 

Opening in May 2019, the DCFP has grown rapidly, distributing over 1.25 million pounds of food annually.

The pantry serves a vulnerable and under-served community. They distribute prepackaged and fresh groceries weekly based on family size through a traditional food pantry model.

Surrounding counties are also served through its monthly mobile pantry, where prepackaged and fresh groceries are distributed to reduce how far families need to travel to access nutritious food.

If you’re interested in volunteering at the Durham Food Pantry, please get in touch with Jim Duffy. He’d be glad to talk to you about the many opportunities to help those in need."
