DMWS Canned Food Drive

Urban Ministries of DurhamMany thanks for participating in our annual canned food drive. DMWS delivered 287 non-perishable items to Urban Ministries of Durham Food Pantry on February 19. Before the delivery, the children lined our hallway with cans. In addition to sorting activities, they counted, investigated weight, and compared sizes! (We even measured Mrs. Hardin’s height in cans.)
