Resources & Support for Our East Durham Neighbors

Find Resources Near You

The new Food Bank at Durham opens soon, designed with community at the center.

With leading support from our friends at Food Lion Feeds, we can't wait to welcome you to our new location at 1607 Hamlin Road beginning February 23!

We're excited about our expanded capacity to connect neighbors with resources as quickly and efficiently as possible. 

The 64,000-square-foot facility in Venture Park has nearly double the capacity of our former location, including dedicated space for community meetings, trainings, and volunteer sorting and repack efforts. The new Food Bank will also significantly improve access to fresh, locally-grown food for partners across Chatham, Durham, Granville, Orange, Person, and Vance counties. This means more food can be distributed to the communities that need it the most — including our neighbors in East Durham. 

Unfortunately, this expansion also brings our decade-long chapter to a close in Old East Durham — and we're already missing the community's incredible warmth.

While we're sad to say goodbye to our Angier Avenue location, we're proud of the robust network of pantries and meal sites that serve the Durham community, including several organizations in neighborhoods around our former facility. We’re working to provide additional food and funding support for these partners to help meet any increase in demand.
