¡Estaremos encantados de verte allí!

North Durham Mutual Aid
(Since March 2020, North Durham Mutual Aid has been organizing to help meet each other’s basic survival needs, recognizing that we cannot rely on the dominant institutions. We are an entirely volunteer-run collective. We will reply to you as soon as we can, but it may take us several days. For more about us, see: https://durhammutualaid.org/north/ )

Please join us on Saturday, December 10 at 11 am to noon for a rain barrel installation at our new garden site at 2700 North Roxboro Street (behind St. Paul’s United Methodist and the Sacred Grounds Coffeehouse.)

Let’s capture the rain that falls this winter and use it to irrigate our future garden. Come learn to do an installation if you don’t know how, and help us out with your expertise if you do!

After that, we’ll spend the winter designing the physical garden as well as the social systems to fully launch our Neighbors Growing Together Community Garden in the early spring.
