One out of every six people in the United States is food insecure. North Carolina is no exception and the Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC at Durham is one branch of five that serves half a million people! We raised almost 8,000 cans and served approximately 1,500 hours of community service. Also, since the tragedy struck in Haiti, JHS has adopted a K-12 school over the next three years. With your help, we have raised over $6,000 and plan to continue our relationship with a school supply drive next year.
When we began ReBuilding Hope in the fall of 2008, our goal was to raise awareness about poverty & adequate housing issues and raise money for Habitat for Humanity in Durham and New Orleans. Through various projects, we were able to raise over $17,000 for that tremendous organization! Please take time to review our projects, photos, and videos below!
