Dorcas Ministries

🎄🎄 Christmas in July Spirit Week 🎄🎄 We had a blast! Staff, volunteers and even customers dressed up all week to celebrate!

July was an exciting month for us as we welcomed four new team members! Barbara Settle, Sr. Director of Finance Noah Martinez, Marketing and Events Coordinator Chantel Humphrey, Community Support Specialist Elizabeth Kahn, Food Security Program Manager (she was formerly part of our Retail Operations team) Join us in welcoming them to Dorcas! 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you again to everyone who made our first Pickleball Tournament a success! We couldn't have done it without our sponsors, volunteers, players, and community cheerleaders who showed up to watch! Enjoy a few highlights!

We've received such generous donations already this month. Thanks for celebrating Christmas in July with us! Let's finish strong!

📣 Teen Board Applications are due by July 31! 📣 Learn more and apply on our website - https://lnkd.in/gpjZH4jB 📣 Applications are open to all rising 10th, 11th and 12th grade students.

The Taylor Y CILTS sorted a TON of clothing today, which is a big huge help for our retail team! Thanks, y’all!

WOW! Big, huge thank you to our friends at Christ the King Lutheran Church for an amazing Feed the Need event on Sunday!! Their congregation members purchased almost $14k in groceries from a local Food Lion in just a couple of hours to benefit the Dorcas Pantry!

Did you know that our pantry stocks hygiene products and baby supplies? We do, and we like to keep those shelves full of supplies for our local families with kids!

Thank you American Heart Association for leading team members in First Aid, CPR and AED training today. We’re committed to safety and being prepared in the event of an emergency! 🤍❤️🤍

During a recent visit, GoCary provided information about the GoCary Downtown Loop. The Downtown Loop will provide service between destinations like Cary Town Hall, Downtown Cary Park, and other downtown attractions along Chatham Street every 25 minutes. Parking is available at the Town Hall parking deck, with a DL bus stop conveniently located on Wilkinson Avenue. Staff also showed incoming customers the benefits and how to use the GoCary App, which is free to use and download and enhances riders' transit experience. CAMPO staff was also onsite and provided important information about The Blueprint for Safety. The Blueprint for Safety is based on a commitment to significantly reduce deaths and serious injuries in roadway crashes in the CAMPO region, including Chatham, Franklin, Harnett, Granville, Johnston and Wake Counties. This project is a partnership with local officials, community organizations, residents, workers, and visitors across the region. More at: https://lnkd.in/eQqqxKd2
