Community Garden
Jubilee Home hosts a community garden with ~400 sq feet of raised beds to provide fresh produce to the house and neighborhood.
Our community garden was started with the help of grants from the City of Durham’s Neighborhood Improvement Services and Duke’s Community Care Fund, and built with the help of community volunteers.
In our first season in 2020 we grew a quarter ton of produce including collard greens, beets, bok choy, cucumbers, butter beans, watermelons, a variety of tomatoes, peppers and gourds, as well as parsley, rosemary, mint, oregano, basil, lavender, and chives, and a variety of pollinator friendly flowers. The garden will provide fresh produce to Jubilee Home and the surrounding community.
Clothing and Food Distribution
Jubilee Home also serves as a clothing and food distribution point for our neighbors in the Dawkins Street neighborhood.
Jubilee Home is located in a part of the historical Hayti neighborhood that suffers from the damages of urban renewal and disinvestment. As part of being in a community with food and housing insecurity, Jubilee Home has become a hub for food and clothing distribution in the community. We provided about 2500 meals to the community in 2020 along with many many pounds of food, clothing, and fresh produce. If you are interested in getting involved with us but don’t know how, we can always use food and clothing, and hands to organize it!
