Durham Alliance Outreach is grateful to St. Martin's Anglican Church for its generous $500 contribution in support of DAO’s food-security work.
This contribution was made during the DAO Pantry era and helped strengthen the food-support program that later became the DAO Market on August 6, 2026.
Community Support Makes Local Programs Stronger
Food-security programs rely on more than shelves and groceries. They depend on donors, volunteers, community partners, and organizations willing to invest in practical supports for people experiencing food insecurity.
St. Martin's Anglican Church has a long history of community involvement, and its contribution to DAO was part of that broader commitment to local outreach and social support.
From DAO Pantry to DAO Market
At the time of this donation, DAO operated the DAO Pantry. That program has since evolved into the DAO Market, a more choice-based food-support model developed in partnership with Feed the Need in Durham.
The Market builds on the work made possible by earlier community supporters while giving shoppers greater choice and helping DAO strengthen the overall food-support experience.
Thank You, St. Martin's
DAO extends its sincere thanks to the congregation of St. Martin's Anglican Church for supporting our work and helping strengthen food security in Durham Region.
Community partnerships like this show how local organizations can work together to create meaningful, practical support.
