Urban Ministries Shelter DinnerHoly Infant will be sponsoring our monthly dinner at the Urban Ministries of Durham homeless shelter and community kitchen on Sunday, November 16, 2025. The menu will feature submarine sandwiches, side dishes, and dessert. All food donations are greatly appreciated, as the demand for our meals has increased. We served over 200 children and adults just in October! Please indicate the food item you'd like to donate on the online Sign-Up Genius and deliver to the church Narthex by 12:30 on Sunday, November 16. You can also sign up after Mass at the Information desk in the Narthex.
SIGN UP TO DONATE/VOLUNTEER
We greatly appreciate having new and "veteran" volunteers who can help serve the meal at the Shelter. No experience is necessary, although we ask that all volunteers reserve a spot on the electronic sign-up sheet as space in the Shelter kitchen is limited. We typically meet at the DeSales Center at 4:15, carpool to the Shelter, and return to Holy Infant by 7:30 PM.If you have any questions about this ministry or the sign-up process, please contact CarolAnn Applegate at 919-259-4700. -
