CAARE and WorldLegacy Leaders Dedicate Expansion of Services in Memory of Co-Founder
City Leaders to Join Celebration, Monday, Nov. 26 at CAARE Inc.
DURHAM, N.C. – Nov. 16, 2010 – CAARE, Inc., a nonprofit community-based provider of health and wellness services, and WorldLegacy, which provides a variety of leadership workshops, kick off a project beginning Friday, November 19—Sunday, November 21. Legacy leaders and volunteers will be renovating existing space in order to expand CAARE’s numerous health and wellness services. The culmination of the project will be celebrated on Monday, Nov. 22, 6:00pm-9:00pm at CAARE, 214 Broadway Street, Durham. The public is welcome to attend.
The expansion project is being dedicated in memory of co-founder, Patricia Amaechi. Volunteers are needed throughout the entire weekend. Please call 919-678-6000 to sign up for
a 2 hour or 4 hour shift. Monetary, building supplies and in-kind donations are requested.
“We were delighted when WorldLegacy’s leadership team chose us for their community project,” states Sharon Bynum, director and co-founder of CAARE. WorldLegacy’s leadership team and volunteers will be giving CAARE’s kitchen an extreme makeover, from a new floor, to new appliances and more. This project will create a peaceful space for those who, in many ways, consider CAARE to be home. The new kitchen area will give the veterans that will be living there a place to learn how to cook and develop camaraderie.
“Fifteen years ago, my sister, Patricia, and I sat in my kitchen and began dreaming of how we could serve our community by providing health and wellness services to those who had no where else to go,” continues Bynum. “That’s why this project is so dear to me. I want this new kitchen to be an open, warm and safe space where others can get together and dream about and realize their possibilities, too.
