Ways to Give BackLooking to give back to the Durham

community? Making plans to shop for your holiday gifts? Consider donating or volunteering this year with the following organizations! By taking the time to make crafts with children at a Holiday Bazaar or drop off gift donations for Adopt-A-Family, you can make a positive impact this holiday season.

Salvation Army: Angel Tree and Adopt-A-Family909 Liberty St. Durham, NC(919) 688-7306 ext. 111

If you’re heading to the mall for some holiday shopping, consider buying a few extra gifts! The Salvation Army provides children and families with Christmas gifts every year that they would not receive without donations from students and residents in the Durham community.

The Angel Tree program pairs over 1,700 children ages 0 to 12 with individuals who donate gifts every year. You will be assigned to one child, learn his or her name, age, gender, clothing sizes and “wish gifts,” so you can shop specifically for that child.

The Adopt-A-Family program is similar, but instead of adopting one child, you adopt an entire family to purchase gifts for. Price limit is $125.

All gift donations must be dropped off by December 6th at the Salvation Army location on Liberty Street. Call Debbie Avolin to get involved.

StepUp Ministry: Holiday Store1701 Oberlin Rd, Raleigh, NC 27608(919) 781-0156

StepUp Ministry is hosting a holiday store for its clients that will allow parents to purchase gifts at 10% of their retail value for their children. All of the proceeds from the holiday store will support StepUp Ministry’s Life Skills class throughout the year.

Donate: Gifts for children ages 0 to 16, ranging in value from $10 - $50. Items must be received by December 2nd.

Volunteer: Help set up and run the store December 2nd – December 7th. You can sign up to volunteer here: https://sites.google.com/site/stepupchristmas/home

United Way: “Community Reads”Book Drive2400 Perimeter Park Dr, Morrisville, NC 27560(919) 460-8687

Do you have any books from an English course you don’t want anymore? You can donate them to United Way’s book drive! United Way is collecting used and new books for readers ages 0 to 16. A community-reading event will be hosted on MLK Day of Service (January 20th) where over 1,500 children will attend and receive the donated books. Donations are need by Friday, January 3, 2014 in the United Way office.

InterAct: Holiday Bazaarwww.interactofwake.org(919) 828-7501

InterAct is a United Way agency that provides safety and support to victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. At their annual Holiday Bazaar, children can design holiday arts and crafts, “shop” for donated holiday gifts, and wrap a gift basket to give to their mothers as a present. Mothers also have the opportunity to shop for their children among the donated gifts.

Donate: Toys and clothes for kids, baskets for moms, and gift-wrap

Volunteer: Help set up the bazaar on Tuesday, December 10th from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. Serve as a “personal shopper” for mothers and children at the bazaar on December 14th.

stirring. Using a wire whisk, stir in the milk and cook, whisking, until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the peppers.

One-by-one, beat in the egg yolks, whisking well after each addition. Turn off heat.

Stir the Cheddar cheese into the mix. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.

Thoroughly coat ramekins with butter. Sprinkle the inside of each ramekin (bottom and sides) with Parmesan cheese. Set aside.

Whip egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form definite peaks.

Thoroughly stir ¼ of these whipped egg whites into the cheese mixture. Gently fold the remaining whites in, but only until you can no longer see white streaks in the mixture.

Many Southern grandmothers have a version of this simple cobbler in their recipe boxes. It may just be the quickest

way to an old-fashioned farm staple. I first heard it referred to as Lazy Girl Cobbler in Nathalie Dupree’s kitchen. Her kitchen is a Southern woman’s sanctuary. It’s always warm, inviting, and never ceases to be a

learning place for the hungry.
