Urban Ministries of Durham is the primary point of connection for those who are homeless, hungry, or in need in Durham. With the help of nearly 4,000 volunteers, countless donations from the community, and dedicated staff, we serve some 6,000 people each year who come seeking food, shelter, clothing, and supportive services.

We are the primary public homeless shelter in Durham, and we welcome neighbors regardless of race, ethnicity, religious beliefs or non-faith, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. We provide immediate relief to those experiencing chronic or temporary homelessness and work with clients to end their homelessness as quickly and responsibly as possible. Last year, 118 people ended their homelessness at UMD.

COMMUNITY SHELTER

Using a housing-first, low barrier approach, UMD offers safe emergency shelter to nearly 850 men, women, and children each year.

COMMUNITY CAFÉ

UMD serves 3 meals a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to shelter guests and anyone who is hungry free of charge.

FOOD PANTRY & CLOTHING CLOSET

Using donations from the community, UMD distributes groceries and gently-used clothing to over 500 homeless or low-resource households each year.
