Families Moving Forward (FMF), a Blacknall Deep Common Journey partner, is hosting its annual “Rock the Block” day of service on Saturday, May 11. Volunteers will come to 300 N. Queen St. to help renovate and beautify the property for families who call this place home.

We are looking for at least 15 people to join the Blacknall team rolling up their sleeves to work on painting projects inside the FMF property, including painting baseboards, trim, door frames, and touching up walls. Blacknall volunteers will work between 9 - 11:30 a.m. but are welcome to stick around for all the festivities. Southern Harvest Catering will provide lunch for volunteers. You must be 18 or older to volunteer, but everyone is welcome to attend.

This is a great chance to love and serve your Durham neighbors experiencing a temporary crisis of homelessness. Please sign up if you want to volunteer. Volunteers can choose to bring/donate paintbrushes, but it is not required. If you have questions, please contact Blacknall member Anne Paulson.
