SEEDS breaks ground!

SEEDS brings life to our community and warms our hearts as they hold their ground-breaking ceremony Wednesday morning. Co-founder Brenda Brodie, Betty Kenan mother to co-founder Annice Kenan, and her brother Tom Kenan were at the ceremony. Tom commented, "Brenda has been the statue of Liberty that has held the torch high."

Instead of breaking ground, the SEEDS co-founder and representatives transplanted fig branches from the large fig tree on the grounds.

"It was a dream to have this building in the beginning," Brenda stated. "And now it's an even bigger to dream. Thank you for believing."

Volunteer Center of Durham

Staff at MHAworks organized the Creative Food Drive to address hunger in Durham.

Volunteer of the Week MHAworks
Creative Food Drive


Architecture and planning firm MHAworks started the Creative Food Drive to address hunger in Durham. On Sept. 22, 17 teams composed of business, churches and community organizations competed to design and build creative sculptures out of donated non-perishable food items. The event raised awareness and educated residents about the needs of the Durham community.
The sculptures were impressive, but even more so was the amount of food donated. The food donations assisted clients of the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina and Housing for New Hope.

MHAworks’ “immense contributions to this event demonstrate that they believe the effects of the event are greater than the sum of all the time and effort they volunteered … and that they are truly volunteering for the good of the community,” wrote Melissa Hartzell, Housing for New Hope development director.

Thanks to MHAworks for its generosity, hard work and community commitment.
