Nourish Your Community: Free Food Distribution at Elizabeth Street UMC

Join Elizabeth Street United Methodist Church on February 9, 2026, for a vital community initiative: a free food distribution event. This event aims to support our neighbors by providing essential food items to those in need. Due to anticipated high demand, early arrival is strongly encouraged.

The distribution begins promptly at 2:00 PM, but we advise arriving as early as 12:30 PM to secure your number at the registration tent. This ensures you will be served. Remain in your vehicle throughout the drive-through process for a smooth and safe experience. Please note that supplies are limited, and distribution is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Located at 1209 N Elizabeth Street, Durham, North Carolina, Elizabeth Street UMC is committed to serving the community. If you're looking to give back, volunteers are welcome starting at 12:45 PM. Consider joining us and spread the word to those who might benefit from this valuable resource. For updates and information on future events, follow Elizabeth Street UMC's Facebook page.
