Downtown Durham's 2nd Annual

Beloved Community
Free Picnic & Resource Fair

SATURDAY, MAY 22,
11AM–2PM

MUSIC FOOD FRIENDSHIP

If you live, work or worship in downtown Durham, you already know there’s a divide. We’re not talking about black and white or good and evil, but of the haves and the haves-not. Those who have a home, have food to eat, and have clothing to put on each morning. And those who have little or nothing.

Today’s economic downturn is producing more and more need in our community, for both individuals and for families. And with the school year (and school lunches) ending, families living on the edge face even more pressure to get through each day in the summertime.

This resource fair and picnic will provide opportunities to give help to those in need. Opportunities to get help from a variety of service and aid institutions. And opportunities to share a meal, conversation and music with a greater part of your beloved Durham community.

Become a part of it. Please join this celebration of community and faith. Volunteers are still needed—contact Rich Ball Damberg at 919.688.4141 or damberg.rich@epa.gov.

There are opportunities for all to assist, even if only to welcome a stranger as you share a meal.
