Our Vision
Our vision is to build a future where food insecurity is eradicated in Durham, and every individual has reliable access to wholesome food. We envision a community where compassion and support are at the core of our actions, allowing us to uplift and empower those facing challenging circumstances.

Who We Are
Durham Feed is a community-driven nonprofit organization that operates with a passion for making a meaningful impact. Our team comprises dedicated individuals from diverse backgrounds who share a common goal: to alleviate hunger and improve the overall well-being of our community. We work in collaboration with local partners, businesses, and volunteers to amplify our reach and ensure the success of our programs.
What we Do?
Food Distribution
Our primary focus is on operating a community food pantry that provides essential groceries and fresh produce to individuals and families facing food insecurity. We believe that access to nutritious food is a basic human right and a critical step toward improving quality of life.
School Meal Programs
We collaborate with schools to implement meal assistance programs, ensuring that children from low-income backgrounds receive nutritious meals during the school day. By removing hunger as a barrier to education, we enable students to reach their full potential.
Nutrition Education
We conduct cooking workshops and offer nutrition education programs to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills to prepare healthy, budget-friendly meals. Empowering our community with culinary expertise promotes self-sufficiency and long-term food security.
