Connect. Grow. Lead. SERVE!

Open Table Ministry: Serving Our Neighbors, Building Community

Tuesday, December 8, 2026 | 8:45 am – 11:30 am

Connection is powerful. Growth is intentional. Leadership is action. And service brings it all together.

Join the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce for Connect. Grow. Lead. SERVE!, an opportunity designed to bring Chamber members together outside of the traditional networking environment to build relationships, develop as leaders, and make a meaningful difference in our community.

For this Connect. Grow. Lead. SERVE! experience, we're partnering with Open Table Ministry to support their weekly Free Store, a program that provides essential resources to neighbors in our community while creating a welcoming space where everyone is treated with dignity and care.

This is more than just a volunteer opportunity. It's a chance to connect with fellow Chamber members, meet our neighbors, hear their stories, and experience firsthand the power of showing up for one another.

What We'll Be Doing

Volunteers will help support Open Table Ministry's Free Store through activities including:

• Welcoming and greeting neighbors as they arrive

• Assisting neighbors with completing order forms

• Gathering and filling orders with requested items

• Distributing orders to neighbors

• Sharing conversations, building relationships, and helping create a welcoming environment
