Urban Ministries of Durham
Urban Ministries of Durham's mission is to provide food, clothing, shelter and supportive services to our neighbors in need.
As a point of entry in Durham's homelessness continuum of care network, we offer the following programs:
Community Cafe
Community Shelter
Food Pantry
Clothing Closet
Hope-Believe Substance Abuse Recovery Program
Bread for the Journey Community Support Group
These programs are designed to:
- Help prevent homelessness by providing food and clothing to offset living expenses and by referring guests to others in the community who may be able to provide additional help;
- Assist those who are homeless by providing emergency shelter, stabilization assistance such as recovery programs and medical referrals, and to help them connect with the resources that will enable them to return to stable housing as quickly as possible;
- Foster collaboration with community partners so that coordinated efforts can provide needed longer term housing and supportive service needs; and
- Offer support with dignity and compassion to neighbors in need, regardless of their ability to leave homelessness at the time.
