Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is a North Carolina based non-profit organization, and partner with the Feeding America Network. Our Learning Gardens fall under our "GROW" initiative - helping to combat food insecurity by bringing neighbors together to promote local food production.

The Geer Street Learning Garden is a flourishing urban green space located between one of the most vulnerable census tracts and one of the most prosperous business districts in Durham. The garden has twelve vegetable beds, community garden beds, fruit trees, an outdoor kitchen, a small greenhouse, a vermicompost system, a perennial rain garden, a pollinator garden and areas for community gatherings...all on only a quarter-acre lot!  Conveniently located in Durham’s urban food corridor, the garden neighbors include Reinvestment Partners, Farmer Foodshare, and an urban demonstration apiary managed by Bee Downtown. The heart of the Geer Street Learning Garden is the countless community partnerships we have built in Durham.

During a shift, volunteers will assist with general gardening tasks such as seasonal harvesting, packing, planting, weeding, pruning, mulching, and greenhouse work. Come prepared to bend, kneel, and lift medium to heavy items to complete our daily tasks.

Camden Street Learning Garden is more than a green space in the middle of a city. It's where kids, families, and individuals can be in nature, connect with one another, and grow fruits and vegetables that nourish their lives.  The garden is situated on an acre of land in downtown Raleigh and features over twenty raised beds, a 400-sq.ft. production garden, a food forest, a 5,200 gallon rainwater catchment system, two beehives, a greenhouse, a composting facility, and a covered outdoor classroom. It is a space that provides community members with the opportunity to cultivate new relationships as they find out where their food comes from, how to grow it, and how to turn it into healthy and affordable meals.

Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is a North Carolina based non-profit organization, and partner with the Feeding America Network. Our Learning Gardens fall under our "GROW" initiative - helping to combat food insecurity by bringing neighbors together to promote local food production.

The Food Bank Learning Garden is a vibrant example of urban gardening and of the collaboration between sister Feeding America Food Banks. Once operated by the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, the garden is now under the care of Inter-Faith Food Shuttle due to state and federal budget cuts that have impacted hunger relief organizations state-wide. We are honored to take on this responsibility, and to continue the legacy that this garden has made for the local community.

Able to Serve is seeking caring and dependable Van/Mini-Bus Drivers to support our Day Program serving adults with disabilities. Drivers transport participants to community outings, service projects, recreational activities, and special events throughout the month. This volunteer role is perfect for individuals who enjoy driving, engaging with others, and being part of meaningful experiences that help our participants grow and connect in the community.

The purpose of this role is to provide safe, reliable, and welcoming transportation so participants can actively engage beyond our walls. Transportation plays a key part in fostering independence, life skills development, and meaningful service opportunities. By helping participants get where they need to go, drivers directly support our mission of empowering every individual to live a full and purposeful life.

Safety is the highest priority in this role. Drivers are responsible for operating an Able to Serve van or mini-bus in a safe, attentive, and responsible manner at all times. This includes following all traffic laws, ensuring proper seatbelt use, assisting with safe loading and unloading, and maintaining awareness of participants’ needs throughout the trip.

No CDL is required. However, all drivers must complete a Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) check, background check, and required volunteer training prior to serving. Driving opportunities occur each month, and volunteers can sign up for specific dates and trips that fit their availability. In addition to driving, volunteers may assist staff by supporting participants during outings as needed — offering a helping hand, providing encouragement, and helping ensure a smooth and positive experience for everyone involved.

Contact Able to Serve to get started and signed up for this ongoing need! 

Looking for a low-pressure, come-as-you-are way to make a real difference in the Coats community? Coats Municipal Park could use a little extra love, and Campbell students are invited to help keep our green spaces clean and welcoming for everyone.
This is a flexible, self-led volunteer opportunity with no set schedule, no sign-ups, no formal event. If you find yourself with a free hour between classes or want a quick way to give back, simply stop by the park at any time that works for you. Bring a friend or fly solo, take a walk, and help pick up litter along the pathways, fields, and play areas. Every small effort adds up, and your time directly supports a cleaner, safer space for families, pets, and visitors.
Gloves and trash bags are encouraged; filled bags can be placed next to any park trash can for staff to remove. Whether you swing by once or make it part of your weekly routine, your help strengthens the community in a big way.
Thank you for stepping up and showing what it means to care for your town one piece of litter at a time.

Help us keep our park looking its best! Volunteers will collect litter along trails, open fields, and common areas and if time allows, may also help tidy up concession and gathering areas to make the park even more welcoming for visitors.

Be part of the team that makes Main Street look its best! Students will help clean up and spruce up Downtown Coats, taking pride in their community while making a visible difference.

Students will help plant a small native plant bed in key areas of the park (such as the entrance and other high-visibility locations) to enhance beautification, support pollinators, and reduce long-term maintenance needs. They will also learn about how native plants benefit local wildlife and habitats.

Build it, place it, and watch them come! Volunteers will help install bluebird houses and feeders along the park trail, creating new homes for native birds and supporting local conservation.

Connecting with Threads is sponsoring a Learn to Sew series for youth at the Southwest Durham Library. We are looking for teaching assistants to help us. You should enjoy working with children but we can teach you all you need to know about sewing for this simple curriculum.

The series will be held on Saturdays throughout the year from 10am-12 and 12-2pm.  Sign up for more information!

All volunteers must have a background check.

We are looking for volunteers who want to learn to sew - or already have a love of sewing - who are also interested in giving back to their community by donating the items they make to people in the Triangle area.  Our diverse group is interested in learning, growing, helping others, and building friendships along the way. We make quilts, bags, fidget blankets, and much more that are then donated to those they would benefit. Our group provides education, sewing machines, and supplies for the items that are made.

You can sew at home or join our Sew with Us! events.     

We are always looking for people who can help with our youth education programs.

Our website provides a lot of information about our programs and how you can help!    

Connecting with Threads will be teaching sewing lessons twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:45-3:30pm) to 5th grade youth.  We are looking for volunteers to help us staff the program -- if you don't know how to sew, we will teach you what you need to know!

The projects we will be teaching are simple and the students will progress through the curriculum at their own pace with our support.  We will be teaching them both sewing by machine as well as hand sewing.  

The students will be making projects for themselves to keep as well as items to be donated to their elementary school.

Visit our website for more information on our organization.  http://www.connectingwiththreads.org

Volunteers are needed for Food Smarts curriculum, workshops, and other educational events! Backgrounds in culinary arts, nutrition, or education are highly encouraged.

To help our neighbors reach their health goals, we believe it is important to provide access to fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Our programs empower participants to lead healthy lifestyles, participate in joyful movement or physical activity, prepare and eat meals with their families, meal plan and budget, and enhance their favorite recipes. Our programs emphasize cultural strengths and have diversity, equity, and inclusion views. Our work is designed to give power back to our neighbors and communities. We look to our communities to be the leaders and voice for what they need, and we support them.

The Treasurer is a key officer of the Board of the Merrick-Moore Community Development Corporation, entrusted with the organization's financial stewardship. This individual is responsible for overseeing all aspects of financial management, budgeting, and reporting, ensuring transparency and accountability. The Treasurer operates in strict compliance with North Carolina (NC) state and federal regulations, safeguarding the fiscal health and integrity of the Merrick-Moore Community Development Corporation.

Skills and Qualifications
• A bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, business administration, or a related field is preferred.
• Demonstrated experience in financial management, budgeting, and reporting, preferably in a nonprofit or public sector setting.
• Knowledge of NC state laws and federal guidelines governing nonprofits.

This is a volunteer position.  Please forward your resume to Bonita Green, info@merrickmoorecdc.org.

These volunteers should feel comfortable tapping into their playful and creative side. The children come to our program right after school, so it’s important that the sessions do not feel like more classroom time. Presenters should design activities that are fun, expressive, relatable, and relevant to what the children are experiencing in their lives, especially as many of them are navigating the challenges of transitional housing.

The goal is to create a safe and inspiring space where children can open up, connect with one another, and explore new ideas and skills that help them imagine possibilities beyond their current circumstances. I am absolutely happy to support volunteers as they get comfortable, but it is important that they bring enthusiasm, creativity, and a genuine willingness to engage with the youth.

Volunteers may participate every Thursday or twice a month based on their schedule, and can work with the 6–12 group, the 13–18 group, or both.

We are looking for volunteer tutors who can support our children and teens (ages 6–18) in subjects like math, reading, and general homework help. Tutors will be placed on a list and may be scheduled 1–2 times per week based on the needs of our program families.

Tutoring sessions will take place in public locations such as the library or Barnes & Noble, where families can comfortably meet. A background check will be required to ensure the safety of our youth and families.

If you enjoy helping young people build confidence in their academic skills and want to make a meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you.

These volunteers support the Fresh Produce Program by calling and texting between 5-10 participants between Monday and Wednesday each week to confirm their upcoming Saturday deliveries. An email with instructions is sent to all volunteers at the beginning of each week. Volunteers have the assistance of a script and FAQ document to successfully complete calls. This role is KEY for making sure deliveries get to the right people/places, and helping us stay in touch with the households we serve. Relationship building is encouraged!

We ask that volunteers sign up for one semester or summer of delivery confirmation calling at a time. It is not required that callers sign up to volunteer as a Delivery Confirmation Caller every week during that period, but at least once every 2-3 weeks is encouraged.

IMPORTANT: We manage volunteer sign-ups outside of HandsOn Triangle.  If you would like to sign up to be a Delivery Confirmation Caller, and are prepared to do so for a full semester or summer, please email Elliot at elliot.yoon@duke.edu. One-hour caller training, as well as a short online HIPAA training, is required.

These volunteers will pick up produce bags from Uncle Harry's General Store (1925 Yearby Ave, Durham, NC 27705) on Saturdays between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM at their chosen time and deliver these items to participant homes. Driving may be up to a 2-hour commitment (eg, someone who picks up at 10:00 AM should plan to finish by 12:00 PM at the latest).

We routinely need 15-20 drivers to serve ~175 households each week. In order for us to generate driving routes based on an accurate headcount of drivers for the week, we ask that you sign up no later than 5 PM the day before distribution. Once routes are generated, an email with instructions will be sent to all volunteers within a few hours of their pick-up time. The more people who sign up, the quicker the routes are for everyone! We encourage you to bring along a friend for this role! Driving is much more fun with a buddy, who can help call participants to let them know that their delivery is on the way. HIPAA training required! Please see the google sheet below for more information on HIPPA. 

IMPORTANT: We manage volunteer sign-ups on a Google Sheet outside of HandsOn Triangle. Please click here for instructions and to sign up! If the volunteer opportunity you are interested in has no open slots left, please consider signing up for a different day or role!

These volunteers support the Fresh Produce Program by assisting our distribution leaders with quality-controlling produce items, packing produce into bags, and loading bags into delivery drivers' cars on Saturday distribution days between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM.

These volunteers will coordinate with our non-Spanish-speaking drivers on Saturday distribution days by making calls to our Spanish-speaking participants to let them know that their produce delivery is on the way. Because many of the families we serve primarily speak Spanish, these volunteers are CRUCIAL to help us receive any special instructions or requests from participants. Volunteers are encouraged to sign up for multiple time slots/days!

Covid-19 brought to light the heartbreaking extent of food insecurity in our community. Iglesia Emanuel, together with a large group of dedicated volunteers, has responded to this challenge with a weekly food pantry, providing large boxes and bags of nutritious and culturally appropriate food. Volunteers work in 2-hour shifts, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, making it possible for us to serve over 600 families a week. Students aged 14 and up are welcome to volunteer on their own. Children aged 10 and up are welcome to volunteer under the supervision of a parent or other accompanying adult. Volunteers need to be over 18 for traffic control positions.

In addition to volunteering on site, you can help support this ministry by donating shelf stable food or bags of rice and beans. We always need more protein items (canned chicken, tuna, or peanut butter), cereal, and other nutritious food to complement the fresh produce that we give. 

See sign-up genius for volunteer dates and times.
