2022 Advancing the Vision Silent Auction

All donations will benefit DurhamCares and its mission to foster collaboration, develop leaders, and educate the people of Durham to care for their neighbors in holistic ways.

How we live out this mission:
- Church Mobilization Network: an initiative to cultivate place-based cohorts of churches that partner together to make a positive impact on their neighborhoods. https://durhamcares.org/church-mobilization-network/
- Durham Pilgrimage of Pain and Hope: an opportunity to discover how your spiritual journey is connected to the place you live – Durham, NC. Through the pilgrimage you will immerse yourself in the story of the city and the Biblical story as you reflect with others on what it means for how you live your life in Durham. We are also creating the Durham Pilgrimage of Pain and Hope Video Curriculum, which will be released soon. https://durhamcares.org/pilgrimage/
- Education and Events: partnerships, workshops, speaker series, studies, and special events to cultivate healthy community engagement.

The mission of DurhamCares is to foster collaboration, develop leaders, and educate the people of our city to care for their neighbors in holistic ways. We create initiatives for collaboration and teach principles that foster healthy community engagement in a variety of settings.

DurhamCares takes its mission inspiration from the story of the Good Samaritan – the call to love God first and love our neighbor as ourselves (Luke 10:25-37). Our vision is the biblical concept of shalom (Jer. 29:7), a comprehensive flourishing for all people. We envision a city where there is peace and justice, where there is nothing missing and nothing broken – where Durham residents love their neighbors.

As a Christian organization we work primarily with churches while affirming, celebrating and collaborating with groups and people of other faiths.
