Current Local Opportunities/Needs

We have opportunities to serve folks in need in our community and hope you’ll participate!

Moore School Food Pantry, Highland, alongside Temple Emmanuel, supports Moore Elementary School by providing a food pantry for students of Moore School and their families. For the month of January, we are asking for donations of grits or oatmeal.

St. Timothy’s Overflow Shelter: St. Timothy’s Women’s Overflow will open nightly this season, starting December 1, and will once again serve the most vulnerable among us. Recruit your friends, Meet & Eat group, committee or neighbors to help the guests by signing up for a dinner, to-go bags, or hospitality. Shelter Volunteers Click Here

Community Care Center on New Walkertown Road in Winston-Salem is a volunteer-based, free, non-profit healthcare clinic that treats the whole person and family. They provide health care services and medicines to uninsured patients who don’t qualify for federal or private insurance and have family incomes below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. Their medical, dental and non-medical staff donate over 10,000 hours annually. They have evening hours every Monday and Thursday. Churches from Salem Presbytery provide dinners for the volunteers each Monday. If you’d like to prepare and deliver a dinner for 20 people, please contact Debbie Cesta at debbie.cesta@habitatforsyth.org
