The Oral History program was originally created during the COVID-19 crisis as a collaboration between TNVLC and DPS. Through this project, high school students interview older adults in the community, giving them an opportunity to tell their stories/share their history. A finished “memory book”, including photos, is produced and given to the intervieweer.
Since the start of the pandemic TNVLC has been coordinating all the volunteers for Durham County’s Feeding Durham Initiative to ensure food distribution at county-wide food pantries. We do this by way of our online volunteer platform, HandsOn Triangle. To date, we have recruited 2,747 volunteers.
The Feeding Durham Initiative connects with over 60 pantries, including but not limited to:
The importance of neighborhood and local food pantries is undeniable. By connecting these pantries and their volunteers through our Feeding Durham Initiative we are able to source resources and ensure that efforts are not diminished by duplicating services.
