DURHAM CROP HUNGER WALK
JUSTICE, PEACE, AND INTEGRITY OF CREATION (JPIC)
Every year our Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) helps to organize Immaculate Conception's participation in the Durham CROP Hunger Walk. Parishioners can walk to help raise funds, sponsor a walker with pledge, or other means of volunteering/support. We are looking forward to supporting the 50th Annual Durham CROP Hunger Walk this year on March 24, 2024! Check back soon for updates!

DURHAM CROP HUNGER WALK
Thank you to all our parishioners who donated and participated in the 49th Annual Durham CROP Hunger Walk! Over 90 parishioners joined our JPIC at the CROP walk this year, including a large turnout from Respecto and our Latino youth and young adult ministries! I particularly would like to thank Bob Wiethe, Katusha Olave, Mariza Mandujano-Ortiz, Fabian Hernandez, and everyone who helped organize this event. All funds go to Church World Services to help fight hunger both internationally and locally, with 25% of all funds going directly to Durham area food charities such as Meals on Wheels and Urban Ministries of Durham.
